About
Max L. Wilson is a leading researcher at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), embodied interaction, and the future of work in digital manufacturing. His work critically examines how technology adoption—from Industry 4.0 digital tools to robotic teleoperation—reshapes human roles, cognition, and bodily experience. Wilson’s most cited paper, "Workplace 4.0" (105 citations), explores the sustainability of the workforce amid rapid digital transformation, highlighting adoption challenges and implications for manufacturing. He has also made significant contributions to understanding embodied interaction, as seen in his 2020 study on surrender and self-awareness in breath-controlled and brain-controlled systems (32 citations), which challenges HCI to reconsider the human bodily experience. In robotics, Wilson’s research on teleoperation demonstrates how motion scaling and haptic guidance affect operator workload and performance, with recent work (2024) showing that performance metrics outperform physiological indicators for workload assessment. His studies offer practical insights for safety-critical domains like nuclear waste management and disaster response. Wilson’s interdisciplinary approach—bridging cognitive ergonomics, robotics, and digital manufacturing—positions him as a key voice in designing technology that supports, rather than overwhelms, the human operator.
