About
Pascal Ligot investigates the intersection of human factors and industrial robotics, with a primary focus on the acceptability and integration of human-robot collaboration in manufacturing environments. His most cited work, "Assessing the acceptability of human-robot co-presence on assembly lines: A comparison between actual situations and their virtual reality counterparts" (2014, 50 citations), makes a significant contribution by systematically evaluating how operators perceive working alongside robots in real and simulated settings. Ligot designed a use case for automotive assembly lines where operators and robots shared workspace with varying levels of co-presence, and crucially, he validated virtual reality as a reliable tool for studying these interactions, reducing the need for costly physical prototypes. This research bridges cognitive ergonomics and production engineering, providing foundational insights for designing safer, more accepted collaborative workstations. By demonstrating that VR can accurately replicate real-world responses, Ligot’s work has practical implications for industry 4.0 implementation, helping manufacturers anticipate worker concerns before deploying physical systems. His findings remain influential for researchers and practitioners advancing human-centered automation in manufacturing.
