About
Florian Gosselin is a leading researcher in haptics and human-robot interaction, with a career dedicated to making virtual and remote environments tangible. His work centers on the design and control of haptic interfaces—devices that provide force feedback to the user—with a particular focus on wearable systems, parallel mechanisms, and collaborative robots. A major contribution is the development of a wearable haptic interface for precise finger interactions in large virtual environments (32 citations), which integrates stereoscopic tracking to allow natural, large-scale movements. He has also advanced the field through the design of a compact, high-performance parallel haptic device for desktop applications (22 citations), emphasizing quick and precise manipulation. Gosselin’s impact is further demonstrated by his work on backdrivable actuators for haptic interfaces and collaborative robots (11 citations), enabling safer human-robot cooperation. His foundational research on the duality between serial and parallel manipulators (21 citations) provides key theoretical insights for robotic design. With over 200 citations across his most influential papers, Gosselin’s contributions are essential reading for anyone interested in haptics, teleoperation, and the engineering of intuitive human-machine interfaces.
