About
Katharina Haas is a researcher in animal behavior and welfare, with a particular focus on the intersection of dairy cattle physiology and automated farming technologies. Her work explores how livestock respond to novel environmental stimuli, combining measures of cardiac activity, behavioral observation, and stress physiology to assess animal well-being. In her most-cited study, "Cardiac activity, behavior and cortisol release in dairy cattle during interaction with scraper robots" (2014), Haas provided early insights into how cows adapt to robotic systems in barns—a topic of growing relevance as precision livestock farming expands. Though her citation count remains modest, her research contributes foundational knowledge to the emerging field of human-animal-robot interaction in agriculture, addressing both practical welfare concerns and ethical considerations. Haas’s interdisciplinary approach, bridging ethology and agricultural engineering, positions her work as a valuable reference for students and researchers studying stress indicators in dairy cattle and the design of animal-friendly automated environments.
