About
Gabriele Puzzo is a rising researcher in human-robot interaction and industrial ergonomics, whose work bridges the critical gap between advanced automation and human well-being. His primary research areas include cognitive workload assessment, collaborative robotics (cobots), workstation design, and the benchmarking of wearable exoskeleton technologies. Puzzo’s major contribution lies in systematically evaluating how human factors—such as trust, user acceptance, and cognitive load—are often neglected when designing shared human-robot workspaces in manufacturing. His most-cited paper (2023, 48 citations) provides empirical evidence linking these ergonomic variables to effective cobot integration, offering actionable insights for safer and more productive industrial environments. Additionally, Puzzo is actively involved in the STEPbySTEP project, which addresses the pressing need for standardized testbeds to benchmark exoskeleton devices. While still early-stage, this work (2025) aims to establish universally accepted protocols for assessing physical assistance technologies, a critical step for their widespread adoption. Through his focus on human-centered design and rigorous evaluation, Puzzo is shaping the future of collaborative manufacturing, ensuring that technological progress does not come at the cost of worker safety or performance.
