About
Bruno Mantel’s research lies at the intersection of ecological psychology and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on how perceptual principles can guide the design of teleoperated systems. His most cited work, “Perceiving for Acting With Teleoperated Robots: Ecological Principles to Human–Robot Interaction Design” (2012), has garnered 14 citations and stands as a foundational contribution to the field. In this paper, Mantel draws on James J. Gibson’s ecological approach to perception and action, arguing that teleoperation presents a unique “remote perception problem” that can be addressed by emphasizing the functional, action-oriented information available to the human operator. Rather than treating perception as a passive process, Mantel reframes it as an active, embodied engagement with the environment—even when that environment is mediated by a robot. His work has influenced subsequent research on intuitive interfaces, haptic feedback, and operator training in telerobotics. By bridging ecological theory with applied robotics, Mantel offers a compelling framework for designing systems that support natural, effective human action at a distance. His contributions continue to inspire researchers seeking to ground human-robot interaction in robust perceptual science.
