About

DeWayne Moore’s research lies at the intersection of human perception, robotics, and teleoperation, with a focus on how operators judge spatial constraints in remote environments. His most-cited work, “Perception of Robot Passability With Direct Line of Sight and Teleoperation” (2009, 42 citations), investigates the challenges humans face when assessing whether a robot can navigate through apertures—a critical skill for tasks like search-and-rescue or bomb disposal. Through two experiments, Moore demonstrated that operators consistently misjudge passability in teleoperation conditions compared to direct line of sight, revealing fundamental perceptual limitations in remote control. This work has implications for designing more intuitive robot interfaces and training protocols. Moore’s contributions extend beyond robotics into human factors engineering, where his findings help bridge the gap between human spatial cognition and machine operation. While his citation count reflects a focused but impactful niche, his research remains a touchstone for scholars studying teleoperation, haptic feedback, and human-robot interaction. Moore’s work underscores the importance of understanding how humans perceive and act through technological proxies—a challenge that grows ever more relevant as autonomous systems become ubiquitous.
