About
Mohamed Khamis is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction, robotics, and emerging technologies, with particular expertise in human-drone interaction (HDI), supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs), and proxemics. His most-cited contribution, "Orochi" (2019, 48 citations), tackled the practical challenges of integrating wearable robotic limbs into daily life, extracting key design considerations to make SRLs less obtrusive and more interactionally versatile — building on his earlier foundational survey of the field's challenges and opportunities (2017). Khamis has also been a pioneering voice in understanding how humans relate spatially to drones, leveraging virtual reality as a methodological tool to investigate proxemic behaviors in human-drone contexts — a series of studies that has attracted growing scholarly attention across 2022 and 2024. His iHDI workshop paper (2019, 18 citations) helped consolidate drone interaction as a legitimate research agenda, broadening the conversation beyond photography toward social and assistive applications. More recently, he has extended proxemics research to canine-inspired robots, reflecting a commitment to understanding how robot morphology shapes human spatial behavior. Across his portfolio, Khamis consistently bridges theoretical insight with user-centered design, making his work valuable to both HCI researchers and robotics practitioners.
