We are based at London South Bank University and develop human-centred, AI-enabled
manufacturing and remanufacturing systems that integrate digital twins, collaborative
robotics, and decision support. Our work spans multi-fidelity digital twins for factories and intralogistics, ergonomics-aware
human–robot collaboration, XR-based operator assistance, and AI-enabled (dis)assembly and
circular production. We build methods and validate them on realistic industrial use-cases,
from resilient AMR fleet management to human-in-the-loop task allocation. Spatial Augmented Reality in Manual Assembly: An Empirical Investigation
of Its Effects on Assembly Performance and Cognitive Ergonomics. A Novel Adaptive AMR Fleet Management System Leveraging AI-enabled Digital Twin for Agile Incident Response and Improved Shop-floor Efficiency. A hands-on HCI² extra-curricular workshop for BSc and MSc students, introducing the
fundamentals of swarm intelligence using Kilobots. Participants will implement simple,
decentralised behaviours, test them on real robots, and take part in a short in-lab swarm
challenge. We welcome PhD candidates interested in human-centred industrial AI, digital twins,
human–robot collaboration, and XR-assisted (dis)assembly. Projects typically combine
rigorous method development with evaluation on real manufacturing use-cases.
If you are looking for a supportive, research-intensive environment with strong industrial
and UK/EU collaboration, explore current openings and how to apply.
