About
Marwin Sorce is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, cooperative autonomy, and spaceflight operations. His work fundamentally addresses how humans and robots can collaborate effectively in extreme, remote environments—particularly aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Sorce’s most cited paper, a 2015 proof-of-concept study, introduced a user-centered system for sharing cooperative plan knowledge over extended periods and across crew changes, a critical challenge for long-duration space missions. This work directly supported the operational integration of the Robonaut-2 humanoid robot on the ISS, demonstrating that cooperative goal-sharing frameworks can enable seamless human-robot teamwork even when crews rotate. With 8 citations, this foundational research has influenced subsequent studies in adaptive autonomy and shared mental models for space robotics. Sorce’s contributions are notable for bridging theoretical models of joint action with practical, deployable systems—a rare achievement in applied space robotics. His work continues to shape how future missions will leverage robotic assistants for sustained, cooperative exploration beyond low Earth orbit.
