Thomas Hulin heads the Telemanipulation Research Group at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). His research interests include haptics (control, devices, and algorithms), telerobotics, physical human-robot interaction, robot visualization, augmented reality, and skill transfer. He is co-author of more than 60 peer-reviewed scientific articles in international journals, books and conferences. He was granted 9 patents and is co-inventor of the robotic systems HUG and SwarmRail, and of the interaction devices CoaxHaptics, VibroTac S, and FingerTac. He has served as an Associate Editor for IEEE since 2019 (IEEE ICRA 2020 and 2021, IEEE WHC 2021, RA-L since 2021).
