About
Glenda Amayo Caldwell is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot collaboration (HRC), human factors, and socio-technical systems, whose work spans construction, aged care, surgical robotics, and industrial manufacturing. Her research addresses one of the most pressing challenges of the Industry 4.0 and 5.0 eras: understanding how humans and robots can work together effectively, safely, and meaningfully across diverse real-world contexts. Caldwell's most cited work, "Towards human–robot collaboration in construction" (2022, 48 citations), established her as a key voice in cobot adoption trends, while her scoping reviews on human decision-making and human factors in HRC (2024) have deepened the field's understanding of the psychological and ergonomic dimensions shaping collaborative robotics design. Her research extends into aged care robotics and robot-assisted surgery, demonstrating a commitment to translating HRC insights into high-stakes human environments. Beyond robotics, Caldwell explores the cultural and urban dimensions of emerging technologies, including hybrid digital crafts and Brisbane's industrial urban transformation ahead of the 2032 Olympics. With over 120 cumulative citations and growing, her interdisciplinary scholarship is shaping how researchers, designers, and industry practitioners approach the future of human-centered automation.
