About
Julius Laaser investigates how humans perceive and navigate space through telepresence systems—a critical area as remote operation technologies expand. His research centers on spatial cognition, distance estimation, and the sensory limitations of mediated environments. In his most-cited work, "How Far is It? Distance Estimation and Reproduction Through a Double 3 Telepresence Robot" (2022), Laaser conducted a carefully designed study with 39 participants to examine how accurately people judge distances when operating a telepresence robot. He found that reduced sensory input significantly impairs spatial orientation, revealing systematic biases in both distance estimation and reproduction tasks. This contribution has important implications for designing more intuitive telepresence interfaces, particularly for applications in remote inspection, healthcare, and collaborative work. While his citation count is still growing, Laaser's work addresses a fundamental challenge in human-robot interaction: bridging the gap between physical presence and remote operation. His findings help engineers and designers understand how to compensate for missing sensory cues, making telepresence systems more effective for real-world tasks.
