Florent Levillain

Florent Levillain is a Professor of Cognitive Sciences at the University of Technology of Compiègne, serving as Head of the Master's program in Humanities and Creative Industries and leader of the Design & Intersubjectivity research team. His work bridges cognitive psychology and technical interaction design.

His research examines intuitive understanding of human behavior, social interfaces for robotics, agency design, intersubjectivity construction, and technical mediation of online interactions. He investigates how humans interpret robotic behaviors and how expressive qualities can be designed into non-anthropomorphic systems.

Recent publications focus on perception of behavioral objects and robotic swarm communication. His research demonstrates consistent interest in expressive movement, human-robot interaction paradigms, and cognitive foundations of behavior interpretation across technical and artistic contexts.

No scientific awards are mentioned.

He supervises research in cognitive systems design and leads academic programs exploring human-technology interfaces. His team develops novel approaches for behavioral notation systems and human-robot communication frameworks.

He directs the Design & Intersubjectivity research team and collaborates internationally on robotic art projects, museum interaction systems, and human-centered technology design initiatives.
