About

Luca Pietrantoni is a prominent researcher specializing in human factors, cognitive ergonomics, and human-robot collaboration, with a particular focus on the integration of advanced technologies in industrial and rehabilitative settings. His work sits at the intersection of occupational psychology, ergonomics, and robotics, addressing how emerging technologies such as collaborative robots (cobots) and exoskeletons affect worker well-being, cognitive workload, and safety. Pietrantoni's most impactful contributions include investigations into workstation design and user acceptance of collaborative robots, garnering 48 citations, and organizational guidelines for psychological well-being during technology transitions, cited 44 times. His expert-driven efforts to update cognitive ergonomics design guidelines within the Industry 5.0 framework have attracted 43 citations, underscoring the field's growing recognition of human-centered approaches. Notably, his research spans multiple sectors — manufacturing, logistics, and agriculture — and extends into rehabilitative exoskeleton assessment, reflecting exceptional breadth. His more recent explorations of adaptive cobots responding to workers' psychological states and the role of human trust in digital twin frameworks signal a forward-looking research agenda. Collectively, his work has accumulated over 220 citations, establishing him as a significant voice shaping safer, more human-centered technological workplaces.
