About

Jared Donovan is a leading researcher at the intersection of human–robot collaboration (HRC) and augmented reality (AR), with a focus on transforming architectural design and fabrication. His most-cited work, "Exploring AR-enabled human–robot collaboration (HRC) system for exploratory collaborative assembly tasks" (2025), pioneers a paradigm where cobots and humans co-create in real-time, enhancing creative agency and situated decision-making. By integrating AR interfaces, Donovan enables workers to interact intuitively with robots during complex assembly tasks, bridging digital design and physical construction. This contribution addresses critical challenges in adaptive manufacturing, where flexibility and human oversight are paramount. Though his citation count is still growing—reflecting the novelty of his work—Donovan’s research is already shaping next-generation collaborative environments. His achievements include advancing human-centered robotics, where AR overlays provide real-time feedback, error detection, and task guidance, empowering users to maintain control while leveraging robotic precision. For students and researchers, Donovan’s work exemplifies how emerging technologies can democratize fabrication, making sophisticated assembly accessible to non-experts. His trajectory signals a future where AR-HRC systems become standard in architecture, manufacturing, and beyond, redefining the boundaries of human–machine partnership.
