About
Til Franzen is a researcher at the frontier of human-robot interaction, specializing in how collaborative robots—or cobots—can be made safe, intuitive, and trustworthy for people with physical impairments. His work centers on the critical challenge of communication: when a cobot moves autonomously, its human partner must understand its intentions to feel safe and in control. Franzen’s major contribution lies in designing and comparing visualization techniques that make a cobot’s artificial intelligence-generated actions transparent. In his highly cited 2022 paper, *My Caregiver the Cobot*, he systematically evaluated methods for conveying a robot’s perception to users with disabilities, a study that has garnered 11 citations and is shaping the design of domestic care robots. He further refined these ideas in *Adaptive DoF*, exploring how to visually represent AI-driven movements in collaborative settings. By addressing the gap between a robot’s internal decision-making and a human’s need for predictability, Franzen is helping to build the foundation for cobots that are not just functional, but genuinely cooperative partners in care and rehabilitation.
