About

Liliane Filthaut’s research sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI), speculative design, and media art, exploring how artistic robotic systems can reshape our understanding of future technologies. Her most cited work, “Spatial Robotic Experiences as a Ground for Future HRI Speculations” (2024), draws on a collaborative project between design students, a media art studio, and design researchers to argue that unfamiliar, artistic robotic encounters offer a rich foundation for reimagining HRI. By positioning robots not as tools but as sources of speculative experience, Filthaut challenges conventional frameworks and opens pathways toward more imaginative, human-centered design. Though early in her career, her contributions are already gaining traction, with this paper accumulating 3 citations—a strong start for such a recent publication. Her work exemplifies a growing movement to integrate artistic practice with engineering, offering fresh perspectives for students and researchers alike. Filthaut’s unique approach promises to inspire new generations to think beyond efficiency and utility, embracing the unfamiliar as a catalyst for innovation in robotics and interaction design.
