About

Roshan Lalintha Peiris is a researcher whose work bridges human-computer interaction, virtual reality, and robotics, with a focus on augmenting human capabilities and creating inclusive technologies. His key contributions span asymmetric collaboration in VR, robotic augmentation, and safe social networking for children. In his highly cited work "TeleSight" (2019, 12 citations), Peiris introduced a proof-of-concept prototype enabling asymmetric collaboration between HMD and non-HMD users, designing tangible interaction layers that bridge physical and virtual spaces—a foundational contribution to accessible VR. Earlier, in "Obstacle Detection and Map Building with a Rotating Ultrasonic Range Sensor using Bayesian Combination" (2006, 11 citations), he advanced mobile robot navigation by developing a probabilistic solution for map building using a single ultrasonic sensor, demonstrating early expertise in sensor fusion. His innovative "Visuomotor Influence of Attached Robotic Neck Augmentation" (2020, 6 citations) explores robotic systems to surpass physical neck limitations, enhancing visual-motor coordination. Peiris also addresses social impact with "Connected online and offline safe social networking for children" (2011, 2 citations), tackling concerns around children's online identity and physical disconnection. With over 30 citations across his most-cited works, Peiris is recognized for pushing boundaries in human augmentation and collaborative systems.
