About

Yvonne Eriksson is a leading researcher in human-robot collaboration, with a focus on safety and aging. Her work centers on designing collaborative robot installations that remove traditional safety barriers, enabling humans and industrial robots to work side by side. Her 2017 paper, "Safety Assessment Strategy for Collaborative Robot Installations" (9 citations), provides a framework for improving industrial resource efficiency through safe human-robot interaction. In her 2016 study, "Automation constraints in human-industrial robot collaborative workstation design" (6 citations), she explores how to balance robot strength and precision with human flexibility and intelligence. Eriksson also investigates the social implications of robotics, as seen in her 2018 paper "The Perception of Aging and Use of Robots" (4 citations), which examines how older adults view robotic assistance. Her contributions bridge technical safety protocols and human factors, offering practical guidance for designing collaborative workspaces that are both efficient and accessible. With a cumulative impact of nearly 20 citations across her key works, Eriksson’s research is essential for engineers and designers aiming to integrate robots into human-centered environments.
