About

Antonio Lanzotti is a prolific Italian researcher whose work sits at the crossroads of human-centered design, robotics, and ergonomics. His research portfolio reveals a sustained commitment to advancing human–robot collaboration, virtual reality applications, and anthropocentric workplace design — areas that have become increasingly critical as manufacturing evolves through Industry 4.0 and 5.0 paradigms. Lanzotti has made significant contributions to the design of collaborative workplaces, developing knowledge-based frameworks that optimize layout and promote seamless human–robot integration, work that has attracted over 50 combined citations. His pioneering use of virtual reality for usability assessment — including surgical training using the KUKA LBR iiwa as a haptic device — demonstrates a rare ability to bridge industrial and medical applications. His most-cited paper (51 citations) applied VR methods to wheelchair-mounted robotic manipulators, establishing his early influence in accessibility-focused design. Beyond robotics, Lanzotti has explored human motor control through EMG-based muscle synergy analysis for industrial overhead tasks, contributing to wearable systems design across sports, rehabilitation, and manufacturing contexts. His Robust Interactive Design for Ergonomics and Safety (R-IDEaS) procedure further reflects his dedication to systematic, user-centered methodologies that prioritize worker safety and well-being in increasingly automated environments.
