About
Paul Strohmeier is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, haptics, and embodied cognition, with a focus on how technology can fundamentally reshape our bodily experience. His work pioneers the design of sensorimotor devices—wearable systems that tightly couple sensing and actuation to augment human perception and action. A key contribution is his exploration of how robotic avatars and telerobots can mediate our relationship with ourselves and others, as demonstrated in his 2016 work on touch-sensitive telepresence. Strohmeier also bridges art and engineering, as seen in his interactive robotic origami installation "A Flock of Birds" (2012), which fuses input, output, and computation into a playful, tangible experience. His emerging concept of sensorimotor devices (2025) is already shaping the future of supernumerary limbs and wearable interfaces. With over 17 citations across his most influential papers, Strohmeier’s work is gaining traction for its visionary approach to augmenting human capabilities. His research not only advances technical frontiers but also provokes deep questions about mediation, embodiment, and the minimum conditions for meaningful interaction with technology.
