About

Alberto Martinetti is a leading voice in the evolving field of industrial safety, with a particular focus on the human dimensions of emerging technologies. His research critically bridges the gap between traditional risk management and the complex realities of human-robot interaction (HRI) and artificial intelligence. Martinetti’s most impactful work, "Redefining Safety in Light of Human-Robot Interaction: A Critical Review of Current Standards and Regulations" (2021, 87 citations), challenges the narrow, physical-centric definition of safety. He argues compellingly that policymakers and engineers must expand their scope to include psychological, social, and ethical impacts on humans working alongside autonomous systems. This seminal paper has become a foundational reference for researchers and regulators seeking to update outdated safety frameworks. Beyond this, his broader portfolio explores asset integrity management and the integration of human factors into engineering design, consistently advocating for a holistic, human-centric approach. By pushing the boundaries of what "safe" means in an automated world, Martinetti is helping to shape the future of work, ensuring that technological progress does not come at the cost of human well-being.
