About

Judit Ruiz de Munain is a leading researcher at the intersection of Extended Reality (XR) and advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on human-robot collaboration and workforce training. Her most impactful work centers on the MASTER project, where she has pioneered an open XR platform that revolutionizes how industrial workers interact with and program robotic systems. Her 2024 paper, "The MASTER XR Platform for Robotics Training in Manufacturing," which has already garnered 7 citations, introduces critical modules for creating safe collaborative workspaces and enabling intuitive, user-friendly robot programming. Building on this foundation, her subsequent work, "MASTER-XR: Mixed Reality Ecosystem for Teaching Robotics in Manufacturing," expands the paradigm into a comprehensive mixed reality ecosystem for education. Through these contributions, Ruiz de Munain is directly addressing the manufacturing industry's urgent need for accessible, safe, and effective training tools, bridging the gap between complex robotics and human operators. Her research is not only advancing academic understanding but also providing tangible solutions for Industry 4.0, making her a key figure in the future of smart manufacturing and human-robot interaction.
