About

Yke Bauke Eisma is an emerging researcher specializing in human-robot interaction (HRI), with a particular focus on augmented reality interfaces, telepresence systems, and robotic manipulation. His work bridges the gap between cutting-edge robotics technology and intuitive human control, exploring how people can most effectively collaborate with and direct robotic systems. His most notable contribution to date examines a spectrum of control paradigms in HRI, comparing direct control methods against augmented reality-based telepresence using sophisticated hardware including the Franka Emika Panda robot arm and the Varjo XR-3 head-mounted display. This experimental study, which has accumulated 8 citations since its 2023 publication, offers valuable empirical insights into how virtual representations of robotic systems can enhance remote manipulation tasks. Eisma has also demonstrated a commitment to open science and reproducibility in HRI research, developing an open-source chess robot platform that leverages chess as a standardized testbed for studying how robot behavior influences human behavior. With 4 citations since its 2025 release, this tool is already gaining traction as a community resource. His work reflects a thoughtful, human-centered approach to robotics research, making him a promising contributor to the field.
