About

Mandeep Dhanda is at the forefront of research shaping the future of manufacturing, with a primary focus on human-robot collaboration (HRC) within the emerging paradigm of Industry 5.0. His work critically examines the transition from the automation-centric Industry 4.0 to a more human-centric, sustainable, and resilient Industry 5.0. Dhanda’s most impactful contribution is his comprehensive 2024 review, “Reviewing human-robot collaboration in manufacturing: Opportunities and challenges in the context of industry 5.0,” which has already garnered over 100 citations. This paper serves as a foundational resource, mapping the key opportunities and hurdles—from safety to integration—that define the HRC landscape. Building on this, his research delves into the technical challenges of making robots truly responsive to human partners. His work on “Towards an ontology to capture human attributes in human-robot collaboration” pioneers a structured framework to codify diverse cognitive and physical human attributes, a crucial step for developing adaptive, safe, and intuitive robotic systems. By bridging high-level strategic reviews with concrete technical ontologies, Dhanda is providing the essential blueprints for a future where humans and robots work together seamlessly.
