About
Elena Nazarova is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR). Her work focuses on creating intuitive, wearable-free interfaces that allow humans to control and collaborate with robots in complex environments. Nazarova’s major contributions include the development of **CobotAR**, a novel AR system that enables gesture-based robot control using omnidirectional projection and deep neural networks, eliminating the need for headsets or handheld devices. This work, which has garnered 13 citations, addresses a critical bottleneck in multi-user HRI by making interaction more natural and accessible. She also pioneered **HyperGuider**, a VR framework for interactive path planning of quadruped robots in cluttered, multi-terrain settings. With 5 citations, this tool allows operators to visualize and test robot trajectories in simulated environments before deployment, significantly improving safety and efficiency in real-world operations. Nazarova’s research is notable for its practical impact on field robotics and collaborative manufacturing, and she is recognized for bridging the gap between advanced robotic capabilities and user-friendly control systems.
