About
Robin Lieftink is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, telepresence, and robotics, whose work redefines how we connect with remote environments. Her primary research areas include sense of embodiment, tele-robotics, and the evolution of social presence beyond traditional telepresence. In her highly influential 2022 paper, “What Comes After Telepresence?,” Lieftink introduced the concept of transporting both the functional and social self, advancing the field by proposing that multisensory displays can enable users to feel not just present, but truly embodied in a remote location—a work that has garnered 20 citations and sparked new directions in embodied interaction. Her 2024 follow-up, “Sense of Embodiment Supports Motor Learning and Adaptation in Tele-Robotics,” takes a critical step forward by demonstrating that optimizing the sense of embodiment can enhance motor learning and adaptation in teleoperation systems, offering practical implications for surgery, hazardous environment exploration, and assistive technologies. Though early in her career, Lieftink’s contributions are already shaping the future of telepresence, bridging theoretical foundations with real-world applications. Her work stands as a testament to the power of embodiment in transforming how we interact with and through technology.
