About

Ricardo Resende is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction and robotic construction, whose work bridges the gap between simulation and real-world application. His key research areas include robotic construction analysis, anthropomorphic robotic control, and immersive educational technologies. Resende’s major contribution lies in developing methodologies that use virtual reality to simulate and assess the economic and social impacts of robotic construction—a critical step toward reducing the cost and risk of physical in-situ testing. His most-cited paper, “Robotic construction analysis: simulation with virtual reality” (2022), has garnered 25 citations, reflecting its growing influence in the field. Additionally, his work on “Mimicking Human Movement with Robots” (2019), with 9 citations, demonstrates his commitment to education by designing a glove-based system that allows students to intuitively control an anthropomorphic robotic arm with 10 degrees of freedom. This innovative approach not only advances human-robot collaboration but also makes robotics accessible as a hands-on learning tool. Resende’s research is shaping how we train the next generation of engineers and evaluate the future of automated construction.
