About
Dr. Georgios Athanassiou is a leading researcher in human-robot collaboration (HRC), with a particular focus on human-centered design and the socio-technical requirements for successful industrial automation. His work critically examines the often-overlooked gap between developer assumptions and end-user perspectives, arguing that truly effective HRC systems must be built on objective, inclusive requirements analysis. As a key contributor to the EU Horizon Project FELICE, Athanassiou has advanced frameworks for integrating diverse stakeholder viewpoints into the design of collaborative robots, ensuring that technology serves human needs rather than imposing rigid workflows. His research, including his highly cited 2024 paper on the subject, has shaped how engineers and policymakers approach workplace automation, emphasizing trust, safety, and usability. By bridging engineering and social science, Athanassiou’s contributions are pivotal in moving HRC from theory to practical, human-centered implementation, making him a vital voice in the future of manufacturing and human-robot interaction.
