About

Michele Fiorentino’s research sits at the intersection of human–computer interaction, augmented reality, and smart manufacturing, with a focus on designing intuitive, human-centred technologies for industrial environments. His most-cited work, “Towards gestured-based technologies for human-centred Smart Factories” (2022, 9 citations), addresses a critical gap in modern manufacturing: despite rising automation, complex assembly tasks still rely on manual or semi-automated processes. Fiorentino proposes gesture-based interfaces that empower workers by integrating data-driven support directly into their workflows, enhancing efficiency without sacrificing human agency. This contribution reflects his broader commitment to creating seamless, non-intrusive digital tools that adapt to the user’s natural movements and context. By bridging the gap between advanced automation and the irreplaceable skills of human operators, Fiorentino’s work has influenced the design of smarter, more responsive factory floors. His research is particularly notable for its practical orientation—grounded in real-world industrial challenges—and its emphasis on usability and ergonomics. With a growing citation record and a clear trajectory toward shaping the future of Industry 5.0, Fiorentino stands out as a key voice in making smart factories truly worker-friendly.
