About
C.A. Bulich’s research centers on human-robot interaction and control systems for autonomous underwater vehicles, with a particular focus on mitigating the destabilizing effects of communication delays. His major contribution lies in experimentally characterizing how latency degrades piloting performance in undersea robotics, a critical challenge for teleoperation in deep-sea environments. His most cited work, “Characterization of delay-induced piloting instability for the Triton undersea robot” (2005, 15 citations), systematically demonstrates that typical piloting maneuvers remain achievable under moderate delays, providing foundational guidelines for designing more robust control interfaces. This study, conducted at Santa Clara University, directly informs the development of delay-tolerant systems for remotely operated vehicles, enhancing operational safety and efficiency. Bulich’s findings have practical implications for marine exploration, underwater construction, and defense applications where real-time human control is essential. By bridging experimental robotics and human factors, his work helps engineers build more intuitive and resilient undersea platforms, making him a notable contributor to the field of unmanned underwater vehicle control.
