About

Cory Simon’s research bridges human-computer interaction and space exploration, with a focus on wearable technology and robotic control systems for extreme environments. His most notable contribution is the Astronaut Interface Device (AID) project (2008, 6 citations), which developed technologies enabling astronauts in pressurized spacesuits to wirelessly command and communicate with multiple lunar robots. This work addressed a critical challenge in human-robot collaboration, providing astronauts with real-time robot status and control capabilities during surface operations. Simon also co-authored the NASA Wearable Technology CLUSTER 2013-2014 Report (2 citations), which analyzed the transformative potential of wearable devices for health monitoring and human-machine interaction. While his citation counts reflect niche, specialized work, his AID project represents a pioneering effort in spacesuit-integrated interfaces—a foundational concept for future Artemis missions and planetary exploration. Simon’s research demonstrates how targeted wearable solutions can enhance human performance in high-stakes environments, laying groundwork for next-generation astronaut-robot teams.
