About
Andrea Sgobbi is a researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and mixed reality, pioneering intuitive interfaces for controlling robots in hazardous environments. Their most-cited work, "HoloSpot: Intuitive Object Manipulation via Mixed Reality Drag-and-Drop" (2024), introduces a novel approach that allows operators to manipulate robotic systems through simple, drag-and-drop gestures in mixed reality. This breakthrough reduces cognitive load and training requirements, enabling safer remote operations in dangerous settings like nuclear decommissioning or disaster response. While early in its trajectory—with 2 citations to date—the work has already garnered attention for its practical, user-centered design. Sgobbi’s research addresses a critical gap: how to maintain human oversight in high-risk scenarios while minimizing physical exposure. By blending virtual and physical worlds, they are shaping the future of teleoperation, where complex tasks become as intuitive as interacting with everyday digital objects. Their contributions promise to make remote robotics more accessible, efficient, and safer for operators worldwide.
