About

Samraat Gupta is an emerging researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, teleoperation systems, and space construction technology. His work focuses on understanding how communication time delays affect human performance and cognitive load during remote operation of construction machinery in extreme environments, particularly lunar surface scenarios. Gupta's most cited study, an exploratory investigation into time-delayed excavator teleoperation within virtual lunar construction simulations, has garnered 12 citations since its 2024 publication, demonstrating rapid uptake within the robotics and construction engineering communities. Alongside collaborators including Miran Seo and Youngjib Ham, he has systematically evaluated how operators adapt their behavior, manage mental workload, and maintain task efficiency when contending with the signal latency inherent in deep-space teleoperation. His contributions have been recognized at prestigious venues including the ICRA Future of Construction Workshop, reflecting the interdisciplinary relevance of his research. With a combined citation count accumulating across multiple publications in just a two-year span, Gupta's scholarship is shaping foundational understanding of human-robot teaming for off-world infrastructure development — a field of growing importance as lunar and planetary construction missions move closer to reality.
