About
Egle Maria Orlando is a leading researcher in human-robot collaboration (HRC), with a focus on the psychological and physiological dimensions of human-robot interaction in industrial settings. Her work bridges engineering, ethics, and cognitive science to understand how workers perceive, trust, and adapt to collaborative robots (cobots). Orlando’s most-cited paper (2024, 9 citations) examines trust and negative attitudes toward robots in real-world industrial environments, highlighting the critical role of individual factors in successful HRC. She has pioneered methods to monitor workers’ psychological states and physiological responses—such as pupil dilation—during collaboration, offering novel insights into learning and adaptation. Her 2025 work on balanced versus unbalanced support perceptions reveals how perceived contribution shapes cobot acceptance, drawing parallels to human-team dynamics. With over 20 citations across her top papers, Orlando is shaping the human-centric vision of Industry 5.0, where technology augments rather than replaces human capabilities. Her research is essential for designing cobots that are not only efficient but also trusted and accepted by the people who work alongside them.
