About

Hamideh Kerdegari’s research sits at the intersection of robotics, human-robot interaction, and immersive telepresence, with a focus on developing intuitive interfaces that bridge the gap between humans and machines. Her most cited work, “Towards a Wearable Interface for Immersive Telepresence in Robotics” (2017, 8 citations), pioneers a novel approach to controlling robots through wearable technology, enabling operators to experience a first-person, embodied sense of presence in remote environments. This contribution is particularly significant for applications in search and rescue, where real-time, natural control can save lives. Earlier, Kerdegari co-developed a mobile robot communication and control framework for the USARSim simulator (2012), a tool designed to make robotics research and education more accessible. By providing a robust, open platform for simulating urban search and rescue scenarios, this work has helped lower the barrier for students and researchers to experiment with multi-robot coordination and control algorithms. Though her citation counts are modest, Kerdegari’s contributions are foundational in advancing wearable interfaces and simulation tools that make telepresence robotics more practical and educational, marking her as a thoughtful innovator in the field.
