About
Yunus Emre Cogurcu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of augmented reality (AR) and human-robot collaboration (HRC), with a focused expertise in industrial safety systems. His work addresses a critical challenge in modern manufacturing: enabling safe, close-proximity interaction between humans and robot arms without the physical barriers that limit productivity. Cogurcu’s major contribution lies in replacing traditional safety cages with dynamic, AR-visualized virtual safety zones. His 2023 study, "A Comparative Study of Safety Zone Visualisations for Virtual and Physical Robot Arms Using Augmented Reality," which has garnered 12 citations, systematically compared user perception and effectiveness of different AR safety visualizations. This was complemented by his subsequent work, "Augmented Reality Safety Zone Configurations in Human-Robot Collaboration" (5 citations), which tested specific AR configurations to enhance worker safety and efficiency. By demonstrating that virtual safety zones can effectively replace physical cages, Cogurcu has laid the groundwork for more flexible, productive, and safer industrial environments. His research is highly influential for engineers and designers developing the next generation of collaborative workspaces, directly addressing the safety concerns that have long hindered the full adoption of HRC in industry.
