About
Dr. Greg Hilliard is a leading researcher at the intersection of human factors engineering and autonomous systems, with a primary focus on human-robot collaboration and trust dynamics in industrial environments. His groundbreaking work addresses a critical challenge in the era of smart manufacturing: the psychological barriers that arise when humans work alongside collaborative robots (cobots) that lack the intuitive social cues of human coworkers. In his most cited work, "Building Trust and Safety Correlates for Autonomous Systems using Physiological, Behavioral, and Subjective Measures" (2022, 6 citations), Dr. Hilliard pioneered a multi-modal framework that integrates physiological signals, behavioral observations, and subjective reports to quantify and predict operator trust and stress levels. This innovative approach provides a quantitative basis for designing safer, more intuitive human-robot interfaces, directly addressing the mistrust and anxiety that can compromise productivity and safety in industrial settings. His research has significant implications for the future of smart factories, offering actionable insights for engineers and policymakers seeking to optimize human-robot teaming. Dr. Hilliard’s work stands as a vital contribution to creating workplaces where humans and autonomous systems can collaborate effectively and safely.
