New paper accepted at the IEEE Design, Automation and Test in Europe Conference (DATE) 2025

A paper titled ``Human-Centered Digital Twin for Industry 5.0’’, co-authored with Francesco Biondani, Luigi Capogrosso, Enrico Fraccaroli, Marco Cristani, and Franco Fummi, has been accepted for presentation at the IEEE Design, Automation and Test in Europe Conference (DATE) 2025. The conference will take place at the Centre de Congrès de Lyon, Lyon, France, from March 31 to April 2, 2025.

Abstract: Moving beyond the automation-driven paradigm of Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0 emphasizes human-centric industrial systems where human creativity and instincts complement precise and advanced machines. With this new paradigm, there is a growing need for resource-efficient and user-preferred manufacturing solutions that integrate humans into industrial processes. Unfortunately, methodologies for incorporating human elements into industrial processes remain underdeveloped. In this work, we present the first pipeline for the creation of a human-centered Digital Twin (DT), leveraging Unreal Engine’s MetaHuman technology to track worker alertness in real-time. Our findings demonstrate the potential of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and human-centered design within Industry 5.0 to enhance both worker safety and industrial efficiency.
