About
Diego Hernandez Arjoni is a leading researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, human factors, and aeronautical engineering. His work is defined by two major thrusts: retrofitting legacy equipment for the Industry 4.0 era and pioneering cost-effective, high-fidelity flight simulation using industrial robotics. His most influential paper (27 citations) provides critical retrofit techniques that allow older machinery to meet the connectivity and data standards of modern smart factories, offering a lifeline to companies navigating the fourth industrial revolution. Arjoni is also the driving force behind the SIVOR (Robotic Flight Simulator) project, a collaboration between ITA and Embraer. Through a series of highly cited studies, he has systematically evaluated pilot perception, human performance, and the implementation of washout filters on this unique anthropomorphic robot-based platform. His work demonstrates that COTS industrial robots can serve as a flexible, cost-efficient alternative to traditional flight simulators. Furthermore, Arjoni established the HUMAER laboratory, a dedicated test-bed for investigating human factors in the aeronautic domain, solidifying his role as a key figure in bridging human performance, robotics, and the future of aviation and manufacturing.
