Human Robot Interaction with Dr. Jana Jost

Welcome to another episode of Intralogistics Insiders, brought to you by Synaos. In this installment, we are joined by Jana, the Head of Robotics Department and Cognitive Systems at Fraunhofer IML. We delve into Jana's journey into the world of intralogistics, starting from her studies in informatics with a focus on robotics at the Technical University in Dortmund to her current role.

Jana shares insights on the research areas her department is currently focusing on, including mobile robots, sensors, and human-technology interaction. Listeners will learn about the challenges of managing fleets of heterogeneous robots, integrating sensors for better perception and interaction, and the importance of adapting robots to human needs.

We discuss the evolution of mobile robots, from slow-moving units to advanced systems capable of handling d ...
