About

Pablo Aguirrezabal is a leading researcher at the intersection of immersive technologies and industrial automation, with a primary focus on augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and human–robot collaboration. His most impactful work, "Augmented Reality for Supporting Workers in Human–Robot Collaboration" (2023, 17 citations), demonstrates how AR-based authoring tools can significantly reduce cognitive load for human operators working alongside robots in real-world industrial settings, exemplified by a deployment at Siemens. This contribution directly addresses the critical challenge of making collaborative robotics safer and more intuitive for factory workers. Aguirrezabal also explores the frontier of the Metaverse in industrial contexts, as seen in his work on mixed and virtual reality for collaborative interaction in electrical substations (2023, 2 citations), where he investigates how persistent, multi-user immersive environments can transform remote maintenance and training. By bridging the gap between cutting-edge XR technologies and practical manufacturing needs, Aguirrezabal’s research is paving the way for smarter, more human-centric factories, making him a key voice in the future of Industry 4.0 and human–machine interaction.
