About
Eileen Kraemer’s research bridges robotics, distributed simulation, and human-robot interaction, with a focus on creating systems that are both intelligent and practical. She is perhaps best known for her work on “Rollin’ Justin,” a mobile humanoid robot platform designed for real-world service tasks like fetching and delivery. The 2009 paper detailing Justin’s design and control algorithms has garnered over 107 citations, underscoring its influence on dexterous manipulation and mobile robotics. In parallel, Kraemer has made significant contributions to scalable simulation through her work on SASSY, a framework that adapts parallel discrete event simulation (PDES) techniques for agent-based applications. Her 2006 paper on SASSY (36 citations) addresses a critical gap: while PDES excels at efficiency, it often struggles with the complexity of agent-based models. Kraemer’s design enables more flexible, distributed simulations for domains ranging from social systems to robotics. Her work is notable for its practical engineering focus—she doesn’t just propose theories but builds real systems that demonstrate sophisticated control and scalability. For students and researchers, Kraemer’s career exemplifies how to tackle hard problems at the intersection of hardware and software, with lasting impact on both robotics and simulation communities.
