About
Samuel Silva is a researcher working at the intersection of sustainable manufacturing, collaborative mixed reality, and autonomous robotics. His work is unified by a focus on integrating human factors with technological systems to improve safety, efficiency, and knowledge transfer. Silva’s most impactful contribution is his 2020 paper “Lean Green—The Importance of Integrating Environment into Lean Philosophy,” which has garnered 44 citations and argues for embedding environmental sustainability directly into lean manufacturing principles, a key contribution to the green operations literature. In the domain of extended reality, his 2024 paper “Towards Unlimited Task Coverage and Direct Manipulation in eXtended Reality Remote Collaboration” addresses the critical challenge of enabling far-off manipulation for remote experts, while his 2025 work “Mixed Reality Collaboration: How Expert Representations Shape User Experiences” explores how expert visual cues influence novice learning and task performance. Earlier, in robotics, his 2016 paper “SafeGuardPF” introduced safety-guaranteed reactive potential fields for mobile robots navigating unknown, dynamic environments. Together, Silva’s research bridges theoretical frameworks with practical system design, making significant strides in sustainable operations and human-centered collaborative technologies.
