About

Michelle Park is a pioneering researcher in human-computer interaction, with a focus on designing intuitive interfaces for emerging technologies. Her work centers on three key areas: human-drone interaction, telepresence systems, and augmented reality for assistive applications. Park’s major contributions include the development of *Drone.io* (59 citations), a projected body-centric graphical interface that enables users to control drones through simple gestures, revolutionizing social drone interactions. She also created *FlyMap* (51 citations), a novel approach to interactive map design for mobile robots, and the *Telesuit* (33 and 28 citations), an immersive telepresence control suit that synchronizes operator movements with a humanoid robot while providing sensory feedback. Notably, Park contributed to NASA’s *AARON* system (6 citations), an augmented reality navigation and operations tool for the xEMU spacesuit, showcasing her ability to apply HCI principles to high-stakes environments like space exploration. With over 170 total citations, Park’s research bridges the gap between human intent and autonomous systems, making technology more accessible and responsive in real-world contexts. Her work has been recognized for its innovation in interactive robotics and immersive interfaces.
