About

Glen A. Larsen is a researcher focused on human-computer interaction and automated user experience (UX) measurement, particularly for smart devices. His most notable contribution is the development of a scalable automated system to evaluate user experience on platforms like smart TVs, tablets, and smartphones. This system integrates a robotic arm capable of performing precise touches and clicks, along with embedded sensors, to simulate real user interactions and collect objective performance data. While his work has garnered modest citation counts—his key paper has 4 citations—its practical significance lies in enabling consistent, repeatable UX testing at scale, reducing reliance on manual human testers. Larsen’s approach addresses a critical need in the rapidly evolving smart device market, where user interface complexity demands efficient evaluation tools. His research bridges robotics and usability engineering, offering a foundation for future automated testing frameworks. Though not widely cited, his work represents a forward-thinking step toward data-driven UX optimization, making it relevant for students and researchers exploring automation in human-centered design.
