About

Doug Creighton’s research lies at the intersection of robotics, haptic teleoperation, and human-machine interaction, with a strong emphasis on practical, real-world applications. His most-cited work, "Safety applications using Kinect technology" (2014, 19 citations), explores the use of the affordable Microsoft Kinect sensor beyond gaming—demonstrating its potential for motion capture in safety-critical environments, a contribution that has influenced accessible sensor-based research. In "Bilateral haptic teleoperation of an articulated track mobile robot" (2007, 16 citations), Creighton advanced the field of remote manipulation by integrating haptic feedback to improve operator performance in controlling mobile robots, a key development for hazardous or inaccessible settings. His work on "A simulation-based control interface layer for a high-fidelity anthropomorphic training simulator" (2010, 2 citations) contributed to Deakin University’s Universal Motion simulator, an innovative platform using an anthropomorphic robot arm to achieve unprecedented motion fidelity for training. Though his citation counts are modest, Creighton’s focus on bridging low-cost sensors, haptic feedback, and high-fidelity simulation underscores his impact in making advanced robotic systems more accessible and effective for safety and training applications.
