About
Carlos Girard is a robotics researcher specializing in humanoid telepresence and low-cost motion capture systems. His work focuses on bridging the gap between human movement and robotic embodiment, particularly through immersive human-in-the-loop interfaces. Girard’s most notable contribution is the development of a motion mapping system that integrates a 3D-printed humanoid robot, built from affordable materials, with an IMU-based motion capture suit and binaural microphones. This system enables real-time, immersive telepresence experiences, allowing operators to see, hear, and move through a remote robotic avatar as if physically present. While his citation count is still building—with his key 2020 paper garnering 2 citations—the work represents a significant step toward democratizing telepresence robotics by prioritizing accessibility and low-cost fabrication. Girard’s approach challenges the field to move beyond expensive, proprietary hardware, offering a scalable template for research in human-robot interaction and remote presence. His achievements highlight a commitment to open-source design and practical implementation, making advanced teleoperation more attainable for labs and educators worldwide.
