About

Marvin Andujar is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, robotics, and neurotechnology. His work primarily focuses on human-drone interaction (HDI) and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), exploring how humans can intuitively control and collaborate with autonomous systems. Andujar’s major contributions include advancing the understanding of natural interfaces for drones, as evidenced by his highly cited survey, "The State-of-the-Art of Human–Drone Interaction: A Survey" (204 citations), which provides a foundational taxonomy of interaction modalities and challenges. He has also broken ground in neurophysiological closed-loop control, demonstrating competitive multi-brain robot interaction—a novel approach where multiple users’ brain signals collaboratively control robots in real time. Additionally, his work on cooperative brain-robot interaction evaluates user experience, bridging the gap between neural control and practical usability. Andujar’s research has been recognized for its interdisciplinary impact, merging cognitive science, engineering, and design to create more responsive, human-centered robotic systems. His efforts are shaping the future of how humans and drones coexist, with applications ranging from search-and-rescue to assistive technologies.
