About

Tibor Nagy is a researcher whose work bridges advanced manufacturing and socially assistive robotics. His key research areas include virtual prototyping of manufacturing systems and human-robot interaction for elderly care. In manufacturing, Nagy’s most cited work (7 citations) introduces a 3D layout configurator with a library of components and analysis tools, enabling rapid virtual prototyping from scanned point clouds—a contribution that streamlines the design of complex production lines. In robotics, his notable field study (4 citations) deployed the Kompaï social robot in eight elderly users’ homes as part of the DOMEO AAL project, evaluating usability over extended periods. This large-scale test provided critical insights into how social robots can assist daily activities, addressing a key step in home care product development. Though his citation counts are modest, Nagy’s work is impactful for its practical, user-centered approach—combining software tools for efficient manufacturing design with real-world validation of assistive robots. His research demonstrates a commitment to translating technology from lab to life, offering valuable lessons for students and researchers in both industrial engineering and human-robot interaction.
