About
Douglas Moore is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics and inclusive education. His primary focus lies in developing and evaluating tele-operated social robots—or telerobots—to bridge critical gaps for children who are medically restricted to their homes (MRH). Moore’s most influential work, "Evaluation of the Toyota Human Support Robot (HSR) for Social Interaction and Learning," demonstrates how these robots can enable homebound children to re-engage with their local schools and communities. By identifying the three foundational features that facilitate effective child-robot interaction, he has provided a practical framework for deploying robots in real-world educational settings. Though his citation count is still growing, his contributions are already shaping the conversation around equitable access to social and learning environments. Moore’s research is not just technically rigorous—it is deeply human-centered, offering a lifeline to children who would otherwise be isolated. For students and researchers in human-robot interaction and assistive technology, his work is a compelling model of how engineering can directly address pressing social challenges.
