About
Marion Koelle is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), wearable computing, and interactive fabrication. Her work fundamentally explores how humans can intuitively collaborate with robotic and autonomous systems, pushing the boundaries of embodied interaction. Koelle’s major contributions include pioneering the design space for wearable robotic arms (WRAs), as demonstrated in her highly cited work “I Need a Third Arm!” (17 citations), which systematically elicits body-based interaction techniques like gestures and gaze to control a robotic collaborator. She also advances mixed-initiative physical sketching with robotic printers, empowering users to blend direct handheld control with automation. Her forward-looking research extends to autonomous systems, co-designing how bystanders interact with delivery vehicles to address critical information needs about safety and intent. With a portfolio of work that has garnered significant early impact, Koelle is shaping the future of how people naturally and safely interact with robotic and autonomous technologies in their daily lives.
