About
Emily Andrulis is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction, privacy, and assistive technology. Her most cited paper, "Video Manipulation Techniques for the Protection of Privacy in Remote Presence Systems" (2015, 14 citations), addresses a critical challenge in telepresence robotics: how to protect the privacy of people in the robot's environment while still enabling effective remote operation. Through user studies, she demonstrated that selectively obscuring or altering video feeds can preserve privacy without compromising task performance—a foundational insight for designing socially acceptable remote presence systems. This work has influenced subsequent research on privacy-aware robotics and human-robot trust. Andrulis's broader contributions include exploring how robots can be designed to respect user autonomy and social norms, particularly in domestic and healthcare settings. Her research is notable for its human-centered approach, combining technical innovation with rigorous empirical evaluation. While her citation count reflects a focused but impactful body of work, her contributions are especially valuable for students and researchers interested in ethical robotics, privacy-by-design, and the social implications of autonomous systems.
