About
Tamanna E. Kaonain is an emerging researcher specializing in human-robot interaction (HRI) and collaborative robotics, with a particular focus on safety frameworks for domestic and industrial environments. Her work addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern robotics: ensuring the physical safety of humans when interacting with robotic systems, especially as robots transition from strictly caged industrial settings into everyday home environments. Kaonain's most notable contribution, "Collaborative Robot Safety for Human-Robot Interaction in Domestic Simulated Environments" (2021), has garnered 10 citations and explores risk mitigation strategies for cobots operating alongside humans in unstructured domestic spaces. Complementing this, her 2020 paper on simulated risk assessment in domestic HRI settings — with 5 citations — laid foundational groundwork for evaluating and quantifying interaction hazards before real-world deployment. Together, these works reflect a methodical, simulation-driven approach to advancing safer cobot design and deployment protocols. Though early in her research career, Kaonain's contributions are gaining recognition within the HRI community. Her focus on bridging the gap between controlled industrial safety standards and the complexities of home robotics positions her as a promising voice in the growing field of human-centered robotics safety.
