About
Dr. Sam Bordoni is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and industrial automation, with a core focus on developing intuitive, contactless control systems for collaborative robots. Their most significant contribution lies in reimagining how non-expert users engage with industrial manipulators, as demonstrated in their landmark 2022 paper on a contactless 3D joystick approach to gesture control. This work introduces a novel ergonomic interface that leverages visual feedback to allow operators with no prior robotics experience to intuitively program and control a UR3 collaborative robot, effectively mirroring the functionality of a traditional joystick through hand gestures. By democratizing access to advanced manufacturing tools, Bordoni’s research directly addresses a critical barrier in Industry 4.0 adoption. With 13 citations on this foundational paper, their work is gaining traction among researchers in human-robot collaboration and user interface design. Bordoni’s achievements highlight a commitment to bridging the gap between complex robotic systems and human operators, making them a rising voice in accessible automation technology.
