About

Artur Pilacinski is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on collaborative robotics, virtual reality, and the psychological dynamics of human-machine trust. His work explores how robots can safely and effectively work alongside humans, particularly in industrial and healthcare settings. Pilacinski’s major contributions include pioneering the use of virtual reality for testing collaborative robots (cobots), as highlighted in his highly cited 2022 paper (49 citations), which outlines frameworks for safer human-robot collaboration. He has also investigated the subtle social cues that influence trust, such as his 2023 study on robot eye gaze, which found that while eyes on robots marginally increase user trust, they can paradoxically reduce performance. More recently, Pilacinski has advanced the integration of human activity recognition and non-invasive brain-machine interfaces to create more intuitive human-robot collaboration loops. His forward-looking work on human-robot intimacy explores societal acceptance of robots as companions, pushing the boundaries of human-robot relationships. With over 60 citations across his key papers, Pilacinski is shaping the future of collaborative robotics by blending technical innovation with deep insights into human psychology.
