Eric Paulos is an American

New Media
strategies.

Paulos is the founder and director of the Hybrid Ecologies Lab, an associate professor in Electrical Engineering Computer Science Department at

UC Berkeley, director of the CITRIS Invention Lab, Chief Learning Officer for the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation, and faculty within the Berkeley Center for New Media
(BCNM).

PRoP: Personal roving Presence early telepresence system developed by Eric Paulos. Blimp version from 1994.

Previously, Paulos held the Cooper-Siegel Associate Professor Chair in the School of Computer Science at

Ubicomp
. He received his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley where he helped launch a new robotic industry by developing some of the first internet tele-operated robots including Space Browsing helium filled blimps and Personal Roving Presence devices (PRoPs).

Paulos is also the founder and director of the Experimental Interaction Unit and a frequent collaborator with Mark Pauline of Survival Research Laboratories. His work has been exhibited at the InterCommunication Center (ICC) in Japan, Ars Electronica, ISEA, SIGGRAPH, the Dutch Electronic Art Festival (DEAF), SFMOMA, the Chelsea Art Museum, Art Interactive, LA MOCA, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the ZKM, Southern Exposure, and a performance for the opening of the Whitney Museum's 1997 Biennial Exhibition.

Born and raised in

Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley, completing his Ph.D. in 2001. Paulos has also collaborated with Mark Pauline of Survival Research Laboratories
since 1994.

Notable innovative projects

  • 1994 Mechanical Gaze – third robot on the web and first remote robot using color image as well as for museum artifact exploration[1]
  • 1993–2000 PRoPs – first online mobile telepresence robot using blimps and ground based robotic platforms[2]
  • 2000 TeleActor – First remote control of skilled human equipped with a wireless camera who moves through and interacts based on remote commands delivered in real time one the internet. (with Ken Goldberg, David Pescovitz, and Judith Donath)
  • 2002 Connexus – First smartwatch with haptic messaging using touch, stroke, and heartbeat as inout and light, heat, and vibration as output to paired device. Technology later released in 2015 as Real Touch in Apple Watch.[3]
  • 2007 Citizen Science on Mobile Smartphones – First use of smartphones with air quality sensors attached to collect and crowdsource location based air quality data.[4]
