About

Anja Klichowicz explores the critical intersection of human cognition and automation, focusing on how people make decisions when collaborating with intelligent machines. Her research centers on human-robot collaboration within Industry 4.0 and 5.0 frameworks, particularly examining how automation levels influence moral decision-making in industrial settings. In her highly cited 2023 paper (9 citations), she investigates how different degrees of automation affect ethical choices when humans work alongside industrial robots across various scenarios. Her 2024 work (5 citations) develops a cognition-based framework for describing interdisciplinary expert team processes in cognitive robotics, addressing the complex dynamics of semi-automated environments where full automation remains impractical. Klichowicz’s contributions are vital for understanding how to optimize human-machine teaming while avoiding undesirable side effects, ensuring that technological advancement serves human needs rather than complicating them. Her work provides essential guidance for designing production systems that leverage both human cognitive flexibility and robotic precision, making her research particularly valuable for engineers, cognitive scientists, and policymakers shaping the future of smart manufacturing.
