About
Maitane Mazmela is a leading researcher at the intersection of human factors and industrial robotics, specializing in User Experience (UX) and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Her work is pivotal in shaping how humans and robots collaborate safely and effectively in modern manufacturing environments. Mazmela’s major contributions include the development of **HEUROBOX**, a novel set of heuristics for evaluating HRI in industrial settings, and pioneering studies on how robot kinematics—such as speed and acceleration—impact operator wellbeing. She has also advanced the field by comparing unimodal versus multimodal interfaces for complex tasks like disassembly, using objective EEG data to demonstrate that multimodal systems significantly reduce cognitive workload. Her most cited work, a systematic literature review on UX in HRI (66 citations), serves as a foundational resource for the field. With a growing portfolio of high-impact papers, Mazmela is establishing herself as a key voice in creating human-centric, efficient, and psychologically safe collaborative workspaces for the factories of the future.
