About
Carlo Pettenon is a leading researcher at the intersection of human factors engineering and Industry 5.0, with a primary focus on cognitive ergonomics, human-robot collaboration, and physiological computing. His most cited work, "Advanced workstations and collaborative robots: exploiting eye-tracking and cardiac activity indices to unveil senior workers’ mental workload in assembly tasks" (2023, 26 citations), represents a landmark contribution to understanding how aging workforces can effectively integrate with collaborative robots (cobots). Pettenon pioneered the use of multimodal physiological sensing—combining eye-tracking and cardiac activity indices—to objectively measure mental workload during human-robot assembly tasks, moving beyond traditional subjective assessment methods. This work has significant implications for designing inclusive manufacturing systems that accommodate senior workers' cognitive capacities while maximizing productivity. His research demonstrates how cobots can serve as assistive technologies rather than replacements, directly addressing the demographic challenges facing modern industries. Pettenon’s findings have been rapidly adopted by both academic researchers studying human-robot interaction and industry practitioners developing age-friendly automation solutions. His contributions are shaping the transition from technology-centered to human-centered manufacturing paradigms, establishing him as a key voice in the emerging field of cognitive ergonomics for Industry 5.0.
