About
Jochen Nelles is a leading researcher in human-robot collaboration (HRC), with a focus on technology acceptance, human well-being, and the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of cooperative robotics. His most influential work, the "Human–Robot Collaboration Acceptance Model," compares acceptance factors across Germany, Japan, China, and the USA, amassing 158 citations and providing a cross-cultural framework for deploying collaborative robots in industry. Nelles also developed the "TAM Reloaded" model (85 citations), extending the classic Technology Acceptance Model to human-robot cooperation in production systems. His literature review on evaluation metrics for human well-being and system performance in HRC (12 citations) underscores his commitment to balancing productivity with worker welfare. Notable achievements include leading the MeRoSy project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, which demonstrated human-robot synergy in industrial and service applications. Nelles’s work on best-practice approaches for solution-oriented technology assessment (11 citations) further highlights his interdisciplinary impact, guiding ethical and legal considerations in HRC. His research is essential for engineers and policymakers designing future workplaces where humans and robots collaborate safely and effectively.
