About
Jaison Puthenkalam is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction (HRI), with a particular focus on how virtual reality (VR) can bridge the gap between human workers and robotic systems. His work centers on designing intuitive, multimodal interfaces for industrial collaboration, specifically targeting complex tasks like surface repair and finishing. By leveraging VR as a testbed, Puthenkalam investigates where and how robots can best support skilled human workers, aiming to enhance efficiency without sacrificing craftsmanship. His most cited paper, "Where should I put my Mark? VR-based Evaluation of HRI Modalities for Industrial Assistance Systems for Spot Repair" (2023, 4 citations), provides a foundational user study that evaluates different interaction modalities for collaborative spot repair. In a related work, "Upward Influence Tactics: Playful Virtual Reality Approach for Analysing Human Multi-robot Interaction" (2022, 1 citation), he explores the dynamics of human influence over multiple robots, introducing playful, gamified elements to study complex multi-agent coordination. Puthenkalam’s contributions are significant for advancing practical, human-centered automation in manufacturing, offering a blueprint for safer, more intuitive industrial HRI.
