About

Dr. Carole Franklin is a leading voice in the field of collaborative robotics, dedicated to reshaping the modern workplace through safe and effective human–robot cooperation. Her most-cited work, "Collaborative Robotics: New Era of Human–Robot Cooperation in the Workplace" (2020, 92 citations), provides a foundational framework for integrating robots as teammates rather than tools, addressing both technical and social dimensions of this transition. She further advances the field by tackling critical safety challenges in "The Role of Standards in Human–Robot Integration Safety" (2021), where she emphasizes the need for robust regulatory guidelines to ensure seamless human–robot interaction. Dr. Franklin’s research bridges engineering, ethics, and policy, making her a key contributor to the development of safe, standardized practices that enable robots to work alongside humans in industries ranging from manufacturing to healthcare. Her work has been instrumental in shaping current safety protocols and inspiring a new generation of researchers to explore the human-centered future of automation.
