Brief Bio
Dr. Yannick Naudet is Lead Scientist and Scientific Coordinator at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST). His main research topics concern the human digital twin and cyber-physical and social systems, context-aware adaptation and personalization, systems modeling and systems interoperability, especially focusing on approaches based on ontologies. Among others, he conducted research on human digital twin, cognitive Interoperability and cognitive digital twin, cyber-physical-social systems and personalization, enterprise interoperability, dynamic services composition optimization, ontology-based personalization, semantic web, ontology alignment and intelligent crowd-sourcing. He holds a PhD in Computer Sciences, Automatic and Signal Processing and a full ADR (“Autorisation à Diriger des Recherches”) from University of Luxembourg. Dr. Naudet was involved in multi-disciplinary European research projects in diverse domains including enterprise, multimedia, education, cultural heritage and healthcare. He is currently co-leading AI4C2PS, a French-Luxembourgish project dealing with cognitive interoperability in Digital Twin -supported cyber-physical enterprise, and coordinates research on Human Digital Twin across four international research projects. He was part of the INTEROP NoE (IST-FP6) and a member of the scientific committee of the GIS INTEROP Grande Region, pole of the INTEROP V-LAB. He is co-chair of the yearly OTM/IFAC/IFIP EI2N workshop on “Enterprise Integration, Interoperability and Networking” and of the SMAP international workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation & Personalisation.
Abstract
Humans have always been a part of industrial systems, but they mostly had the role of operators, using technological tools to which they had to adapt. While Industry 5.0 and the vision of the future industry emphasize human-centricity, advances in generative AI and robotics are enabling technological systems to take on complex, knowledge-intensive tasks, that only humans could do so far. It seems we have two choices now: letting machines do everything for us, or design them for collaborative synergy with humans. This talk explores the second one, focusing on the role of cognition and the human digital twin in enabling seamless collaboration between humans and smart, intelligent, or cognitive technological systems.
