About
Francesco De Pace is a prominent researcher specializing in Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on industrial applications within the Industry 4.0 paradigm. His work sits at the compelling intersection of immersive technologies and robotics, exploring how AR and VR interfaces can revolutionize manufacturing, maintenance, and collaborative robotics. De Pace's most influential contribution, "Augmented Reality in Industry 4.0" (2018, 132 citations), established a foundational framework for understanding AR's role in modern industrial settings, while his systematic review of AR interfaces for collaborative robots (2020, 100 citations) has become a key reference for researchers entering the field. His practical work on fault visualization systems for industrial robots demonstrates his commitment to bridging theory and real-world application. Among his most innovative achievements is the development of BARI, a brain-augmented reality interface enabling intuitive human-robot collaboration through neural signals — a striking example of his forward-thinking research agenda. He has also made significant contributions to robot teleoperation through VR and mixed reality environments, consistently evaluating these systems with rigorous usability studies. With over 350 cumulative citations, De Pace's research meaningfully advances how humans and intelligent machines collaborate in the factory of the future.
