About
Mohammad Parsaei’s research centers on human-robot interaction and occupational safety, with a particular focus on how people perceive and respond to industrial robot motions. His most-cited work, “Human Perception of the Maximum Safe Speed of Robot Motions” (1987, 14 citations), is a foundational study that experimentally determined the maximum speeds at which human operators feel safe working near a robot’s envelope. By involving 29 college students as monitors, Parsaei provided early, empirical insights into the psychological and physical thresholds that shape safe human-robot collaboration—a topic that remains critical as automation expands. This contribution helped establish benchmarks for robot speed limits in shared workspaces, influencing subsequent safety standards and design guidelines. Though his citation count reflects a niche but impactful body of work, Parsaei’s legacy lies in bridging human factors engineering with robotics, offering a human-centered perspective that continues to inform safer industrial environments.
