About

Jan Bajak is a researcher specializing in mobile robotics, teleoperation, and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on enhancing the safety and precision of remotely controlled systems. His most cited work, "Using HoloLens to create a virtual operator station for mobile robots" (2018, 17 citations), introduces a groundbreaking approach to teleoperation by integrating Microsoft HoloLens augmented reality to create an immersive, comfortable control interface for mobile robots equipped with stereovision cameras. This innovation directly addresses the challenge of operator fatigue and situational awareness in remote navigation. Bajak has also made critical contributions to system safety, as detailed in his analysis of hazardous states in the TeleRescuer robot (2017), where he proposed mechanisms to ensure robust behavior during communication failures—a vital concern for autonomous and remotely controlled systems in dangerous environments. Additionally, his work on a gripper with precisely adjustable gripping force (2017) demonstrates his commitment to practical, high-precision manipulation, enabling the handling of objects with varying fragility and strength. Through these contributions, Bajak has advanced the reliability, usability, and safety of mobile robotic systems, impacting fields from search-and-rescue to military robotics.
