Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee is an Assistant Professor at Cornell University specializing in Human-Robot Interaction, Haptic Perception, Robot Manipulation, and Assistive Robotics. His research focuses on developing robotic systems that assist individuals with mobility impairments and older adults through tasks such as feeding, dressing, and exercise. Bhattacharjee's work explores how haptic feedback and tactile sensing can enhance human-robot collaboration, particularly in caregiving scenarios. He investigates the role of haptics in fine manipulation, anomaly detection during robot tasks, and the integration of thermal and force sensing for safe human-robot interaction. His research emphasizes user-centered design and adaptive learning for robotic systems in dynamic environments.
