About
Pascal Maurice is a leading researcher in human-robot collaboration and ergonomics, with a focus on designing safer, more intuitive industrial systems. His work centers on the integration of virtual humans and collaborative robots (cobots) to reduce musculoskeletal disorders in manufacturing environments. Maurice’s most cited paper, "Automatic selection of ergonomic indicators for the design of collaborative robots: A virtual-human in the loop approach" (2014, 15 citations), introduces a groundbreaking framework that uses digital human models to automatically assess ergonomic risks during cobot design. This approach enables engineers to optimize robot behavior—such as trajectory and force—before physical deployment, bridging the gap between simulation and real-world safety. By prioritizing worker well-being without sacrificing productivity, Maurice’s contributions have influenced both academic research and industrial practice, particularly in ergonomic assessment methodologies. His work is essential reading for students and researchers in robotics, human factors engineering, and occupational health, offering a clear path toward human-centered automation.
