To the best of our knowledge, prior research has not investigated the intersection of Dual-Task Interference (DTI) and Human\u2013Robot Collaboration (HRC) in industrial contexts. This study represents one of the first empirical attempts to understand DTI-induced human limitations in collaborative robotics, particularly in industrial HRC settings where stochastic interruptions and competing cognitive demands are common phenomena.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The DTI phenomenon was implemented in a cognitive joint-assembly task involving 172 participants. Each participant collaborated with two robots while simultaneously performing a cognitive task designed to induce DTI during team-work. The performance measures included the number of Human\u2013Robot interactions (measuring user engagement), total robot idle time (measuring team fluency), and the total number of completed cognitive tasks (measuring task performance).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Females exhibited significantly lower robot idle times (12%) and higher Human\u2013Robot interactions (14%), indicating greater collaboration with the robot and more fluent team collaboration than males. Adolescents completed the cognitive task significantly faster than adults (21%) and experts (22%), whereas adults and experts demonstrated greater fluency in team collaboration. No significant differences were observed between novices and experts. Novices successfully bridged the skill gap by distributing their attention equivalently across all aspects of the team-work, resulting in performance comparable to that of experts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results reveal that (a) gender and age-group differences significantly influence HRC in DTI-based tasks, (b) performance speed in the primary task negatively affects the team fluency of HRC, and (c) effective team coordination skills are equally as important as task proficiency in HRC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study contributes to design practice by demonstrating that collaborative robot learning algorithms can classify users into specific population clusters based on their characteristic patterns of collaboration with robots for improved performance and user experience (UX). Furthermore, task proficiency and team coordination emerge as two distinct and mutually independent skills in DTI-based tasks.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnbot.2026.1222566","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,15]],"date-time":"2026-09-15T05:33:50Z","timestamp":1789450430000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Designing for gender, age &amp; proficiency: an empirical study of the cognitive ergonomics of dual-task interference in industrial human-robot collaboration"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Someshwar","family":"Roy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Intelligent Robotics Lab, Department of Industrial Engineering & Management, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev","place":["Be\u2019er Sheva, Israel"]},{"name":"AI and Emerging Technologies Lab, Connect-In Ltd.","place":["Glasgow, United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Igal","family":"Peretz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Intelligent Robotics Lab, Department of Industrial Engineering & Management, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev","place":["Be\u2019er Sheva, Israel"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lior","family":"Sayfeld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Intelligent Robotics Lab, Department of Industrial Engineering & Management, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev","place":["Be\u2019er Sheva, Israel"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yael","family":"Edan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Intelligent Robotics Lab, Department of Industrial Engineering & Management, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev","place":["Be\u2019er Sheva, Israel"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"237","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apergo.2017.03.008","article-title":"HRI usability evaluation of interaction modes for a teleoperated agricultural robotic sprayer","volume":"62","author":"Adamides","year":"2017","journal-title":"Appl.
