About
J. Corde Lane is a robotics and human-space systems researcher whose career has centered on advancing the science and practice of telerobotics, with particular emphasis on space and underwater environments. Working primarily through the University of Maryland Space Systems Laboratory, Lane made foundational contributions to understanding how time delays and communication bandwidth limitations affect remote robotic control — challenges central to operating robots across vast distances. His most cited work, "Effects of Time Delay on Telerobotic Control of Neutral Buoyancy Vehicles" (2003, 80 citations), remains a key reference in the field. Lane also pioneered sophisticated operator interface design, exploring how virtual environments and reconfigurable control stations can reduce cognitive workload for human operators managing complex robotic systems. His involvement with the Ranger Telerobotic Shuttle Experiment placed his research at the frontier of real-world space robotics applications, bridging laboratory innovation and operational space missions. Across his published work, Lane addressed both the engineering and human factors dimensions of telerobotics, recognizing that machine capability and operator experience are equally critical. With over 175 cumulative citations, his research continues to inform the design of next-generation space and remote robotic systems.
