About

Sebastian Stiehm’s research focuses on the human factors shaping modern work, particularly in hybrid collaboration and human-robot interaction. His most-cited work, “Subjective Stress in Hybrid Collaboration” (2017, 20 citations), examines how stress manifests when humans and automated systems share tasks—a critical issue as hybrid work models proliferate. In “Perceived Effects of Cycle Time in Human-Robot-Interaction” (2018, 5 citations), Stiehm analyzes how robotic pacing in manufacturing affects worker experience, offering insights for preserving human-centric workplaces amid automation. His earlier work, “Blended Learning Through Integrating Lego Mindstorms NXT Robots in Engineering Education” (2015, 2 citations), demonstrates a practical approach to teaching complex concepts to over 1,500 mechanical engineering students at RWTH Aachen University. By integrating robotics into curricula, Stiehm bridges theory and application. His contributions lie at the intersection of stress research, ergonomics, and educational innovation, with a clear focus on designing systems that support human well-being. While his citation counts are modest, his work addresses foundational questions about collaboration, cycle time, and learning that will only grow in relevance as automation and hybrid work expand.
