About
Dr. Jeffery Bertrand is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on the critical role of latency in teleoperated multi-robot systems. His work centers on understanding how communication delays affect operator performance, trust, and workload in high-stakes environments like search and rescue. His most influential paper, "Human adaptation to latency in teleoperated multi-robot human-agent search and rescue teams" (2018), has garnered 73 citations, establishing a foundational framework for designing resilient human-agent teams. In his 2017 study, he systematically investigated how latency impacts not only task efficiency and error rates but also the operator's subjective trust and usability perceptions, revealing that even minor delays can erode confidence in robotic teammates. Earlier in his career, Bertrand explored bimanual coordination for anthropomorphic robots, comparing micromanipulator and keypad control for televideo operations. Through his rigorous empirical work, Bertrand has provided essential insights into the cognitive and performance costs of latency, directly informing the design of more intuitive and trustworthy teleoperation interfaces for multi-robot systems.
