About
Valentina Di Pasquale is a leading researcher at the intersection of human factors engineering and Industry 4.0, specializing in Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) and Human Reliability Analysis (HRA). Her work systematically investigates how collaborative robots affect worker performance, with a particular focus on understanding and mitigating human error in human-robot interaction contexts. Her most cited paper, "Human-Robot Collaboration: an analysis of worker’s performance" (2022, 95 citations), provides foundational insights into how close human-robot interaction impacts system performance and worker well-being. She developed a comprehensive taxonomy of factors influencing worker performance in HRC (2022, 30 citations), offering a structured framework for analyzing performance-shaping factors. Her empirical studies, including "A Human Error Analysis in Human–Robot Interaction Contexts" (2023, 15 citations), provide evidence-based understanding of how robots affect human operators. With over 150 total citations across her publications, Di Pasquale’s work bridges the gap between theoretical HRA methods and practical HRC applications, offering critical guidance for designing safer, more efficient collaborative work cells that valorize human capital while leveraging robotic precision.
