About
Elisa Prati is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction and advanced manufacturing, whose work is shaping the future of human-robot collaboration (HRC). Her primary research areas include User Experience (UX) design for robotics, human-automation symbiosis in Industry 5.0, and the use of immersive technologies like Virtual and Augmented Reality for industrial workstations. Prati’s most influential contribution is her pioneering framework for integrating UX into the design of human-robot interactions, a 2020 paper that has garnered 149 citations and serves as a foundational reference for the field. She further advanced the paradigm with her 2023 work on smart manufacturing systems for Industry 5.0, which has already accumulated 80 citations by promoting a human-centric, symbiotic relationship between operators and automation. Her systematic reviews and methodological approaches—such as using VR for collaborative workstation design and evaluating UX scales for HRC—have provided crucial tools for both researchers and practitioners. With over 325 total citations across her top papers, Prati’s work is instrumental in ensuring that as robots become more prevalent in industry, they are designed with the human experience at the core, not as an afterthought.
