About
Marta Lagomarsino is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-robot collaboration, ergonomics, and intelligent robot behaviour, with a particular focus on making collaborative robots safer, more intuitive, and genuinely beneficial to human workers. Her most influential contribution, a 2023 review on ergonomic human-robot collaboration in industry (154 citations), established her as a leading voice in understanding how physical and psycho-social factors shape worker well-being in automated environments. Building on this foundation, Lagomarsino has developed innovative frameworks for assessing and optimising cognitive workload during collaborative assembly tasks, with her online cognitive ergonomics assessment paper earning 64 citations. Her research uniquely tackles the productivity-comfort trade-off, proposing adaptive robot trajectory planning and reinforcement learning-based handover strategies that balance efficiency with human comfort. More recently, she has pioneered preference-based optimisation approaches to cultivate trust in human-robot interaction, reflecting a growing sensitivity to the psychological dimensions of collaboration. Earlier work on socially assistive robots and culturally aware conversational systems further demonstrates the breadth of her contributions. Across her career, Lagomarsino's research has accumulated over 340 citations, underscoring her significant and growing influence on the future of human-centred robotics.
