About
Michela Sarlo is a leading researcher at the intersection of affective neuroscience, psychophysiology, and human-robot interaction. Her work primarily investigates the psychological and physiological underpinnings of emotional processing, decision-making, and social cognition, with a particular focus on how these mechanisms translate into real-world collaborative settings. A major contribution is her pioneering exploration of workers’ psychological states and physiological responses during human-robot collaboration, as detailed in her highly cited 2025 paper (5 citations). This work bridges cognitive neuroscience and robotics, offering critical insights into how stress, trust, and emotional engagement shape effective teamwork with autonomous systems. Sarlo’s research has profound implications for designing safer, more intuitive human-robot interfaces in industrial and service environments. Her impact is further underscored by her use of advanced psychophysiological measures—such as heart rate variability and skin conductance—to decode implicit emotional reactions. Recognized for her interdisciplinary approach, Sarlo’s findings are shaping the future of collaborative robotics, making her a key figure in understanding the human side of automation.
