About
Javier Rojo is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing, specializing in the digital transformation of aircraft assembly lines. His work lies at the intersection of Industry 4.0, human-robot collaboration, and virtual reality (VR) simulation, with a primary focus on optimizing complex, manual processes in aeronautical final assembly. Rojo’s most significant contribution is his pioneering use of VR to simulate human-robot coexistence on the factory floor, enabling both process evaluation and ergonomic assessment. His landmark 2021 paper on this topic, which has garnered 52 citations, provides a critical framework for integrating automation into the traditionally manual stages of aircraft production, directly addressing the challenges of safety and efficiency in shared workspaces. As part of the EU’s Clean Sky 2 initiative, Rojo contributed to the SIMFAL project under the ACCLAIM umbrella, developing a simulation framework (2018) for analyzing and optimizing automated cabin and cargo interior assembly tasks. His work is instrumental in bridging the gap between manual craftsmanship and automated precision, offering tangible solutions for safer, more efficient aerospace manufacturing.
