About

Dorota Stadnicka is a leading researcher at the intersection of manufacturing, robotics, and engineering education. Her work primarily focuses on advancing human-robot collaboration (HRC) within the framework of Industry 4.0, where she explores how humans and intelligent machines can work together safely and efficiently. Her major contributions include developing methodologies to integrate lean thinking into collaborative work cells, as seen in her highly cited 2019 paper (40 citations), and pioneering predictive models to prevent errors in HRC assembly processes (29 citations). Stadnicka has also made a significant impact on engineering pedagogy, notably through the EU-funded JANUS project, where she designed and evaluated a virtual reality (VR) robotics laboratory for blended learning during the pandemic (21 citations). Her work is widely recognized for bridging the gap between theoretical automation concepts and practical, fault-tolerant industrial applications. With a strong record of translating complex collaborative robotics into actionable frameworks, Stadnicka continues to shape how future factories and educational curricula adapt to human-centric automation.
