About

Giulio Jacucci is a leading figure in human-computer interaction (HCI), with a focused expertise on the future of work and human-robot collaboration. His research critically examines the integration of collaborative robots (cobots) into industrial manufacturing, placing a strong emphasis on human factors. Jacucci’s major contributions lie in understanding the subjective and cognitive experiences of workers, particularly senior employees, when interacting with advanced automation. His highly cited 2021 study, "Facing with Collaborative Robots," with 40 citations, explores the subjective experiences of both senior and younger workers, revealing crucial insights into acceptance and well-being. Building on this, his 2023 work (26 citations) pioneers the use of objective physiological measures, such as eye-tracking and cardiac activity, to assess the mental workload of senior workers during assembly tasks. This innovative, multi-modal approach provides a data-driven foundation for designing more humane and effective Industry 5.0 workstations. By centering the human experience in the age of automation, Jacucci’s work is instrumental in shaping a future where technology augments, rather than alienates, the workforce.
