About

R. Ojstersek is a leading researcher at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing and human-robot collaboration, with a focus on the emerging paradigm of Industry 5.0. Their work centers on integrating simulation modelling to design collaborative workplaces that are not only efficient but also environmentally and socially responsible. A key contribution is the development of frameworks that evaluate the impact of human-robot collaboration on sustainable manufacturing, as demonstrated in their highly cited 2022 paper, "Importance of Sustainable Collaborative Workplaces – Simulation Modelling Approach," which has garnered 15 citations. This foundational work uses numerical simulation to assess the performance of manual assembly lines enhanced by collaborative robots. Building on this, Ojstersek’s 2024 paper, "Integrating simulation modelling for sustainable, human-centred Industry 5.0," advances the field by incorporating ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria into the evaluation of collaborative workplaces. This research is pivotal for aligning manufacturing processes with sustainability goals and human-centric design, marking Ojstersek as a key voice in shaping the future of smart, ethical production systems.
