About
Wren McQueary is a researcher at the forefront of accessible human-robot interaction, specializing in virtual reality (VR) teleoperation and low-cost robotic systems. Her most cited work, "WFH-VR: Teleoperating a Robot Arm to set a Dining Table across the Globe via Virtual Reality" (2022, 20 citations), introduces an innovative, easy-to-deploy system that pairs a consumer-grade Oculus Quest 2 with a low-cost LoCoBot arm. This breakthrough enables intuitive, global-scale remote manipulation—demonstrated by setting a dining table from across the world—making advanced robotics more democratized and practical for everyday use. McQueary’s contributions lower the barrier to entry for VR-based teleoperation, emphasizing replication and real-world applicability. Her work has garnered attention for bridging the gap between high-end research and accessible technology, inspiring new directions in remote labor and assistive robotics. With a focus on user-friendly, cost-effective solutions, McQueary is shaping a future where anyone can work from home—and control a robot anywhere.
