About
Gina Marie Clepper is a robotics researcher advancing the safety and capability of robots deployed in hazardous environments. Her work centers on human-robot interaction, haptic feedback, and multi-modal sensing for teleoperated systems. Clepper’s most cited paper, “Tactile and Chemical Sensing With Haptic Feedback for a Telepresence Explosive Ordnance Disposal Robot” (2023, 18 citations), addresses a critical challenge in explosive ordnance disposal (EOD): reducing a technician’s direct exposure to danger. By integrating tactile and chemical sensors with haptic feedback, she enables operators to perceive remote environments more intuitively, improving situational awareness and decision-making. This research directly contributes to safer, more effective robot-assisted interventions in austere settings. Clepper’s contributions are notable for bridging sensory feedback and telepresence, enhancing the operator’s ability to “feel” and assess threats remotely. Her work holds promise for broader applications in search-and-rescue, disaster response, and industrial inspection. With a focus on practical, life-saving technology, Clepper is shaping the future of teleoperated robotics in high-stakes scenarios.
