About

Marjan Dimec is a researcher at the forefront of industrial robotics and safety systems, specializing in the application of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology for human-robot collaboration and autonomous mobile platforms. His work addresses a critical gap in heavy-duty robotics: the underutilization of 3D LiDAR scanners for maintaining safe distances between humans and industrial robot arms. His most cited paper, "LiDAR-Based Maintenance of a Safe Distance between a Human and a Robot Arm" (2023, 11 citations), demonstrates how real-time 3D sensing can enable safer, more flexible collaborative environments—a key step toward integrating powerful robots alongside human workers without compromising safety. Dimec also explores the use of LiDAR and autonomous mobile robots for railway safety and inspection, as seen in his 2022 work (3 citations), extending his expertise from stationary industrial cells to dynamic, outdoor infrastructure monitoring. By bridging remote sensing with real-time robotic control, Dimec’s contributions are paving the way for smarter, safer automation in both manufacturing and public transport sectors.
