About

Evelyn Muschter is a leading researcher at the intersection of haptic communication, human motion analysis, and telerobotics, with a focus on advancing the Tactile Internet. Her work centers on developing haptic codecs that enable real-time touch feedback over networks, a foundational contribution to next-generation teleoperation and immersive virtual environments. In her most-cited paper, "Haptic codecs for the Tactile Internet" (2021, 7 citations), she addresses the critical challenge of compressing tactile data without compromising perceptual fidelity. Muschter also created the CeTI-Age-Kinematics dataset (2025, 6 citations), a unique full-body IMU-based motion capture resource that records daily tasks from both older (66–75 years) and younger (19–28 years) adults, filling a crucial gap in age-comparative kinematic data for assistive technology and rehabilitation. Her notable work "Towards a VR Evaluation Suite for Tactile Displays in Telerobotic Space Missions" (2023, 4 citations) pioneers haptic feedback systems for planetary exploration, supporting major space agencies’ goals of deploying telerobotic systems before human landings. With a growing citation impact and a focus on real-world applications from healthcare to space, Muschter’s research is shaping the future of human-machine interaction.
