About
Niloofar Katiraee is a leading researcher in industrial engineering and operations management, focusing on the integration of collaborative robots (cobots) and human workers in assembly systems. Her work addresses critical challenges in Industry 4.0 and 5.0, particularly in optimizing human-robot collaboration (HRC) for flexible, multi-product assembly lines. Her most cited paper (2024, 20 citations) introduces a novel framework for balancing collaborative assembly lines by integrating workforce individualization and collaboration scenarios, significantly enhancing productivity. Another key contribution (2023, 13 citations) tackles the Multi-Product Separated Line Collaborative Assembly Line Balancing Problem (MPSLC-ALBP), optimizing resource allocation for mixed-model production. More recently, she has explored the challenges of driverless mobile vehicles (LGVs and AMRs) in shared workspaces, addressing safety and efficiency in Industry 5.0 environments. With a growing citation record, Katiraee’s research is shaping the future of smart manufacturing, offering practical solutions for industries transitioning to human-centric automation. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers in production systems, robotics, and sustainable industrial engineering.
