About
Enrique Coronado is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI), end-user development, and extended reality, making meaningful strides toward democratizing robotics for broader audiences. His most-cited contribution, "Evaluating quality in human-robot interaction" (2022, 257 citations), has become a foundational reference for Industry 5.0 research, systematically cataloguing performance and human-centered metrics that define meaningful robot-human collaboration. Coronado has consistently championed accessibility in robotics, developing frameworks like RIZE that enable users without programming expertise to design and deploy intelligent robot behaviors, as reflected in his systematic reviews of visual programming environments (81 citations) and modular development tools. His research extends into affective and social robotics, exploring how Kansei engineering principles can shape emotionally resonant robot design, and into gesture-based control systems evaluated rigorously with human participants. More recently, he has mapped the growing landscape of extended reality tools—VR, AR, and mixed reality—applied to HRI using game engines (62 citations). Across his portfolio, Coronado demonstrates a rare ability to bridge rigorous technical development with deeply human-centered design principles, producing work that is both practically impactful and widely influential within the global robotics research community.
