About

Mose Sakashita is a researcher at the forefront of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), specializing in how robotic embodiment can transform remote collaboration. His work addresses a fundamental challenge in distributed teamwork: the loss of peripheral awareness—the subtle spatial cues that allow co-located collaborators to understand each other’s focus of attention. Through projects like **RemoteCoDe** (23 citations), Sakashita demonstrated how a robotic proxy can enhance awareness during hands-on design activities, such as model-building or circuit debugging, by physically embodying a remote collaborator’s presence. His follow-up work, **ReMotion** (12 citations), extended this concept to open spaces like whiteboard brainstorming sessions, using autonomous robotic motion to replicate natural spatial cues. Beyond these core contributions, Sakashita pioneered **Interactive Vignettes** (5 citations), a novel methodology for conducting large-scale HRI studies that combines the scalability of traditional vignettes with the interactive affordances of real-time simulation. This innovation opens new doors for empirical research in robotics. With a growing citation record and a clear focus on bridging physical and digital collaboration, Sakashita’s work is shaping how teams will work together across distances—making remote interaction feel as intuitive as being in the same room.
