About
Davide Zanardi is an emerging researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, virtual reality, and cognitive ergonomics, with a particular focus on understanding how humans psychologically and physiologically respond when collaborating with robots in industrial settings. His work has made significant contributions to the virtualization of human-robot interactions, exploring how VR-based teleoperation platforms affect operator mental workload, performance, and sense of presence — research that has garnered over 70 citations in just a few years. Zanardi's studies employ innovative methodologies, including eye-tracking and pupillometry, to objectively assess cognitive states during robot collaboration, bridging the gap between controlled laboratory conditions and real-world industrial environments. His investigations extend beyond performance metrics to examine the human side of Industry 5.0, addressing critical factors such as trust, attitudes toward robots, acceptance of collaborative robots (cobots), and the challenges faced by aging workers in technologically advanced workplaces. By integrating psychological, physiological, and human-centered perspectives, Zanardi's research is shaping how industries design safer, more intuitive, and more equitable human-robot collaborative systems — making him a noteworthy voice in the future of work and intelligent automation.
