About
Alexandros Pasparakis is a leading voice in the future of warehouse work, specializing in human-robot collaboration and the human-centric transition to Industry 5.0. His research critically examines how automation reshapes manual tasks, particularly order picking, by designing collaborative systems that augment rather than replace human workers. In his highly cited 2023 work, "Assessing the impact of human–robot collaborative order picking systems on warehouse workers" (88 citations), Pasparakis provides empirical evidence on how these systems affect worker well-being, control, and efficiency, challenging the notion that automation solely displaces labor. His earlier 2021 study, "In Control or under Control?" (35 citations), further explores the psychological dynamics of shared control between humans and robots. Through these contributions, Pasparakis has become a key figure in operationalizing the principles of Industry 5.0, demonstrating that productivity gains need not come at the cost of worker agency. His work is essential reading for researchers and practitioners seeking to build warehouses that are both efficient and human-centered.
