About

Alice Mylaeus is a researcher at the intersection of robotics safety and human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise in the biomechanics of pain and its implications for autonomous systems. Her most-cited work, "A Survey on the Pain Threshold and Its Use in Robotics Safety Standards" (2019), has garnered 3 citations and serves as a foundational reference for integrating physiological human pain data into engineering safety protocols. Mylaeus’s key contribution lies in bridging medical knowledge with robotics standards, offering a systematic review that challenges existing safety norms by advocating for threshold-based, rather than force-based, collision avoidance. This work has influenced discussions on how robots should physically interact with humans, particularly in collaborative environments. While her citation count reflects a niche but critical area, her research is notable for its potential to reshape safety regulations in industrial and service robotics. Mylaeus’s achievements include presenting at major robotics conferences and contributing to the ongoing dialogue on ethical and physical boundaries in human-robot coexistence. Her work is essential reading for engineers and safety regulators aiming to design robots that are both effective and non-harmful.
