About
S. Dhondt is a leading scholar at the intersection of industrial transformation, human-centered work design, and the societal implications of advanced manufacturing technologies. Their research critically examines how automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics reshape production systems, with a consistent focus on the role and well-being of the human worker. Dhondt’s most-cited work, “AI in manufacturing and the role of humans: processes, robots, and systems” (2024, 6 citations), synthesizes historical industrial revolutions with contemporary technological shifts, arguing that human living and quality standards remain the central axis of industrial change. This contribution provides a vital framework for understanding productivity increases not as purely technical achievements, but as socio-technical systems requiring careful integration of human factors. Beyond this key paper, Dhondt’s broader body of work has influenced policy and practice in sustainable work organization, earning recognition for bridging engineering, sociology, and organizational science. Their research continues to guide how industries can adopt AI and robotics while prioritizing workforce participation, skill development, and quality of life—making Dhondt an essential voice for students and researchers navigating the future of work and manufacturing.
