About

Luca Manuguerra is an emerging researcher specializing in sustainable engineering design, eco-design methodologies, and the intersection of Industry 4.0 technologies with environmental impact assessment. His work focuses on developing practical tools and frameworks to guide designers in making environmentally conscious decisions during the early stages of product development, particularly for industrial electric vehicles and autonomous systems. Manuguerra's most notable contributions center on applying eco-design principles to cutting-edge logistics technologies, including electric shuttles and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). His research addresses a critical tension within modern manufacturing: while Industry 4.0 automation tools bring undeniable process efficiencies to shopfloors, they also consume electricity and rely on critical materials with significant environmental footprints. By developing structured eco-design tools and lifecycle assessment frameworks, he equips engineers with actionable guidance at the design phase — precisely where decisions carry the greatest sustainability consequences. With a combined citation count of 9 across his most recent publications from 2023 and 2024, Manuguerra represents a promising voice in sustainable product design research. His case-study-driven approach, grounding theoretical eco-design principles in real industrial applications, makes his work especially valuable for engineers and researchers navigating the environmental challenges of next-generation automated manufacturing systems.
