About

Claire Brophy’s research sits at the intersection of human-robot collaboration (HRC) and open innovation, with a focus on how design shapes real-world robotic systems. Her most cited work, “Characterising CSCW Research on Human-Robot Collaboration” (2024, 10 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding HRC within Computer-Supported Cooperative Work—spanning telepresence, field robots for extreme missions, and social robots in homes. This paper is already shaping how scholars map the growing HRC landscape. In her earlier study, “Designing an Open Innovation Orchestrator: the case of Australia’s Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Hub” (2019, 6 citations), Brophy conducted a design-led workshop with academic stakeholders to explore how open innovation principles can be operationalized through deliberate orchestration. This work highlights her ability to bridge theory and practice, offering actionable insights for innovation hubs. Brophy’s contributions are particularly notable for their interdisciplinary reach, blending CSCW, robotics, and design thinking. As a rising voice in HRC and innovation ecosystems, her research is already informing how teams collaborate with robots and how organizations structure open innovation—making her a researcher to watch in these rapidly evolving fields.
