About

Maria Madarieta 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 significant contribution is the development of the MASTER XR platform, an open ecosystem that revolutionizes how workers learn to interact with industrial robots. Through this work, she has pioneered intuitive robot programming modules and safe workspace creation tools, making complex manufacturing technologies accessible to non-experts. Her 2024 publication on the MASTER XR platform has already garnered 7 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. In a companion study, she further demonstrated the platform's efficacy in teaching robotics through mixed reality environments. Madarieta's research directly addresses the critical skills gap in modern manufacturing, offering scalable, user-friendly solutions that enhance both safety and productivity. Her work is particularly notable for bridging the gap between cutting-edge XR technology and practical industrial applications, positioning her as a key figure in the future of smart manufacturing education.
