About

Holger Jakusch is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of brain-computer interfaces and humanoid robotics. His work focuses on developing multi-user brain-robot interfaces that enable humans to control humanoid robots as a form of "surrogate presence"—a concept where robots serve as physical avatars for remote human operators. Jakusch’s key contribution lies in advancing the feasibility of using humanoid robots as ideal platforms for this purpose, given their human-like embodiment. His most-cited paper, "Towards multi-user brain-robot interfaces for humanoid robot control" (2012, 3 citations), lays foundational groundwork for collaborative brain-controlled robotics, exploring how multiple users could collectively command a humanoid system. While still early-stage, this work has influenced discussions on shared neural control and telepresence. Jakusch’s research bridges neuroscience, robotics, and human-machine interaction, offering a vision where physically separated individuals can interact with the world through robotic surrogates. His contributions are particularly notable for addressing the technical and conceptual challenges of translating brain signals into actionable robot commands, paving the way for future assistive and communicative technologies.
