About
Marta Lorenzini is a leading researcher in human-robot collaboration (HRC), with a particular focus on ergonomics, worker well-being, and intelligent robot control in industrial environments. Her work sits at the intersection of robotics, occupational health, and human factors engineering, addressing one of manufacturing's most pressing challenges: keeping workers safe and productive alongside increasingly capable robotic systems. Lorenzini's most cited contribution, a 2023 review on ergonomic human-robot collaboration (154 citations), established a comprehensive framework for understanding both physical and psychosocial risk factors in industrial HRC settings. Her earlier work on adaptable workstations and fatigue modelling (2019) directly tackled musculoskeletal disorder prevention, while her framework for power tool collaboration (108 citations) demonstrated practical, real-world implementation of ergonomic principles. Notably, she has extended her research to cognitive ergonomics, developing online assessment tools for monitoring workers' mental workload during collaborative assembly tasks. Her contributions to mobile collaborative robotics, including the MOCA platform at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, and her involvement in the EU FP7 CoDyCo project, reflect a broad technical versatility. With over 700 cumulative citations across her top works, Lorenzini has meaningfully shaped how researchers and engineers approach safer, more human-centred robot collaboration.
