About

Piotr Łuczak’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction, occupational health, and intelligent automation. His most influential work introduces **APEOW** (2016), a persuasive avatar system designed to combat the health risks of prolonged sitting by encouraging office workers to take proper breaks. By deploying a personalized robot avatar, Łuczak addresses a critical public health issue—musculoskeletal disorders and heart disease—through behavioral nudging, a contribution that has garnered **7 citations** and stands as his most referenced paper. In a second key study (2019), he explores **human-robot cooperation for sorting randomly distributed objects**, teaching robot controllers to autonomously segregate items using vision systems, even when objects are partially occluded. This work advances flexible manufacturing and collaborative robotics. Łuczak’s impact is defined by his ability to bridge social robotics with practical workplace interventions, offering both a health-promoting tool and a technical framework for adaptive automation. His achievements highlight a commitment to designing robots that not only perform tasks but also improve human well-being, making his research relevant to engineers, health scientists, and designers alike.
