Nach dem Abschluss des Bachelorstudiums im Studiengang Mensch-Technik-Interaktion verblieb Alexander Arntz an der Hochschule Ruhr West, um dort den Masterstudiengang Informatik zu absolvieren.
Seit 2018 ist er als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Institut Informatik an der Hochschule Ruhr West unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Sabrina Eimler (Human Factors & Gender Studies) tätig. Seine Arbeitsschwerpunkte liegen in der Konzeption, Entwicklung und Erforschung von Augmented Reality und Virtual Reality Systemen in verschiedenen Kontexten (Lernen, Aus- und Weiterbildung und Arbeitsunterstützung) sowie der Konzeption und Entwicklung von Anwendungsszenarien-Mensch-Roboter-Kollaboration.
Im Juni 2022 schloss Alexander Arntz an der Universität Duisburg-Essen als Doktorand der Abteilung INKO seine Promotion ab, die durch Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hoppe und Prof. Dr. Sabrina Eimler begleitet wurde.
Alexander Arntz ist Mitglied des Instituts Positive Computing und Mitglied im Graduierteninstitut NRW.

abstract = {Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) has the potential for a paradigm shift in industrial production by complementing the strengths of industrial robots with human staff. However, exploring these scenarios in physical experimental settings is costly and difficult, e.g., due to safety considerations. We present a virtual reality application that allows the exploration of HRC work arrangements with autonomous robots and their effect on human behavior. Prior experimental studies conducted using this application demonstrated the benefits of augmenting an autonomous robot arm with communication channels on subjective aspects such as perceived stress. Motivated by current safety regulations that hinder HRC to expand its full potential, we explored the effects of the augmented communication on objective measures (collision rate and produced goods) within a virtual sandbox application. Explored through a safe and replicable setup, the goal was to determine whether communication channels that provide guidance and explanation on the robot can help mitigate safety hazards without interfering with the production effectiveness of both parties. This is based on the theoretical foundation that communication channels enable the robot to explain its action, helps the human collaboration partner to comprehend the current state of the shared task better, and react accordingly. Focused on the optimization of production output, reduced collision rate, and increased perception of safety, a between-subjects experimental study with two conditions (augmented communication vs non-augmented) was conducted. The results revealed a statistically significant difference in terms of production quantity output and collisions with the robot, favoring the augmented conditions. Additional statistically significant differences regarding self-reported perceived safety were found.
