About
Dr. Somaya Eltanbouly is a rising researcher at the intersection of robotics, human-computer interaction, and assistive technologies. Her work centers on telexistence—the ability to sense, act, and communicate from a remote location through a robotic avatar—with a particular focus on enhancing physical interaction capabilities for users with limited mobility. In her most cited work, "Assistive Telexistence System Using Motion Blending" (2022), Dr. Eltanbouly introduced a novel approach that blends user motion inputs with autonomous robotic control, enabling more intuitive and fluid manipulation of remote robotic arms and heads. This innovation addresses critical limitations in existing telecommunication systems, especially those exposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, where physical presence and interaction were severely constrained. By reducing the cognitive and physical burden on users, her system opens new possibilities for people with disabilities to engage in remote work, social interaction, and environmental exploration. Though early in her career, Dr. Eltanbouly’s contributions are already shaping the future of assistive robotics, and her work continues to inspire further research into accessible, human-centered telexistence systems.
