About
Caroline W. Dos Santos is a researcher focused on advancing human-robot interaction (HRI) within industrial manufacturing, with a particular emphasis on welding processes. Her work addresses critical challenges in factory environments, where safety, efficiency, and effectiveness are paramount for operators collaborating with robotic systems. Her most cited paper, "Situational Awareness Oriented Interfaces on Human-Robot Interaction for Industrial Welding Processes" (2020, 8 citations), explores how interface design can enhance a worker’s understanding of a welding robot’s actions and intentions, thereby reducing risks and improving task performance. By tackling the complexity of industrial contexts—where welding robots pose unique hazards due to heat, motion, and precision demands—Dos Santos contributes to making human-robot teams more intuitive and reliable. Her research bridges cognitive ergonomics and automation, offering practical insights for safer, more productive factories. Though early in her career, her work signals a valuable direction for HRI in high-stakes manufacturing, with potential to influence future interface standards and operator training.
