About
Kelsey Cotton is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, embodied cognition, and soft robotics. Her work centers on transposing somatic experiences—particularly the physical nuances of singing—across bodies using wearable robotic systems. In her most-cited paper, "SymbioSinging: Robotically transposing singing experience across singing and non-singing bodies" (2021), Cotton introduces a soft robotic fiber-based wearable that translates the subtle, internal sensations of singing from one person to another, enabling non-singers to physically "feel" the act of vocalization. This contribution bridges performance art, haptic feedback, and inclusive design, challenging traditional boundaries of skill and embodiment. With 7 citations in a nascent field, her work is gaining traction among researchers in interactive arts and assistive technology. Cotton’s research not only redefines how we share embodied knowledge but also opens new avenues for collaborative creativity and accessible musical expression. Her innovative approach marks her as a rising voice in the study of technology-mediated somatic transposition.
