About
Gilles Bailly is a leading researcher in Human-Computer Interaction, whose work bridges the gap between haptic feedback, robotic systems, and virtual reality. His major contributions lie in designing novel interactive systems that augment human capabilities, particularly through device-initiated touch and robotic manipulation. His highly cited 2020 paper, "Conveying Emotions Through Device-Initiated Touch" (60 citations), explores how interactive systems can reproduce complex touch gestures to convey emotions in remote communication, opening new frontiers in mediated social touch. Bailly's innovative "MobiLimb" project (2018, 23 citations) introduced a small robotic manipulator attached to mobile devices, overcoming their static limitations and expanding interaction possibilities. In the medical domain, his work on telemanipulation in robotic-assisted surgery (34 citations) and multimodal control of robotic endoscopes (19 citations) addresses critical challenges in surgical robotics, aiming to improve outcomes and reduce costs. More recently, his research on encountered-type haptic devices in VR (2022) tackles failure modes to deliver reliable haptic feedback in virtual environments. With a portfolio spanning emotion communication, mobile robotics, surgical assistance, and VR haptics, Bailly's work consistently pushes the boundaries of how humans interact with and through technology.
