About
Matt Gorbet is a design researcher and media artist whose work bridges human-robot interaction (HRI), spatial experience design, and speculative futures. His research explores how artistic robotic systems can challenge conventional HRI paradigms, using unfamiliar, embodied interactions to provoke new ways of thinking about technology and human relationships. In his most-cited work, "Spatial Robotic Experiences as a Ground for Future HRI Speculations" (2024), Gorbet reflects on a collaborative project involving design students, a media art studio, and design researchers, demonstrating how robotic installations can serve as a "reservoir of unfamiliarity" to inspire speculative design. Though early in its citation impact, this work signals a growing interest in integrating art and design practice into HRI research. Gorbet’s contributions are notable for their interdisciplinary approach, merging creative practice with academic inquiry to expand the boundaries of human-robot interaction. His work is especially valuable for students and researchers seeking to understand how artistic methods can inform more imaginative, human-centered robotics—moving beyond functionalism toward richer, more speculative futures.
