About

Craig Mouser is a robotics researcher whose work centers on accessible, human-centered robotic systems, with a particular focus on telepresence, 3D mapping, and human-robot collaboration. His most impactful contribution is the development of an open platform telepresence robot (2013, 24 citations), which democratized access to robotic communication by integrating the iRobot Create, ROS, and mobile devices via a custom Android application. This work established a low-cost, replicable framework that has become a foundational resource for researchers and hobbyists alike. Mouser further advanced remote exploration with the design and evaluation of a teleoperated robotic 3-D mapping (TeRoM) system (2015, 20 citations), which enables efficient, human-guided environmental mapping using an RGB-D sensor for realistic visualization. His research also explores human-robot collaboration within a Mobile Visual Sensor Network (MVSN) (2014, 6 citations), successfully implementing a framework where human operators and autonomous robots cooperate for surveillance tasks. By prioritizing open-source tools and intuitive interfaces, Mouser’s work consistently bridges the gap between complex robotic capabilities and practical, user-friendly applications.
