About
Caroline Moricot is a researcher at the intersection of sociology, ergonomics, and engineering, whose work critically examines the human dimensions of Industry 4.0. Her research focuses on collaborative robotics, operator work, and the socio-technical challenges of automation. Moricot’s major contribution lies in revealing the often-overlooked realities of operators and managers in industrial settings, challenging the techno-centric promises of Industry 4.0. Her most-cited paper, "Promises of industry 4.0 under the magnifying glass of interdisciplinarity" (2023, 16 citations), uses an interdisciplinary lens to expose the gap between idealized automation and actual work practices, directly informing the design of collaborative robots. This work, along with her earlier cross-experience study (2021), demonstrates how integrating engineering, sociology, and activity-centered ergonomics can lead to more humane and effective technology. Moricot’s research is notable for its practical impact, guiding how robots can truly collaborate with—rather than displace—human workers. Her achievements underscore the critical need for social science perspectives in shaping the future of work.
