About
Dr. Maria Grazia Lourdes Monaco is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction (HRI) and occupational ergonomics, with a keen focus on the psychological dimensions of Industry 5.0. Her work critically examines how collaborative robots impact human well-being, particularly through the lens of mental stress and cognitive workload. Her most cited study, “Evaluation of mental stress in human-robot interaction: an explorative study” (2024, 8 citations), is a foundational contribution that addresses the urgent, open issue of work-related stress in increasingly automated industrial environments. By developing methodologies to measure mental strain during HRI, Dr. Monaco provides essential insights for designing safer, more human-centric workplaces. Her research bridges engineering, psychology, and occupational health, offering practical frameworks for industries transitioning to human-robot collaboration. Though early in her citation trajectory, her work is gaining traction as a key reference for scholars and practitioners seeking to balance productivity with worker well-being. Dr. Monaco’s contributions are vital for shaping ethical, sustainable automation, making her a rising voice in the future of work.
