About

Staffan Larsson’s research sits at the intersection of computational linguistics, cognitive science, and assistive technology, with a focus on how language, action, and perception can be formally modelled and applied. His most influential work, "Modelling Language, Action, and Perception in Type Theory with Records" (2013, 33 citations), introduces a unified framework that bridges linguistic meaning with embodied interaction—a contribution that has shaped dialogue systems and semantic theory. Larsson is also the driving force behind TRIK (2009, 11 citations), a talking and drawing robot designed to support children with communication disabilities. This project, presented at NODALIDA 2009, demonstrates his commitment to translating theoretical insights into real-world tools for inclusion. Beyond these highlights, Larsson’s work on dialogue management and type-theoretic semantics has influenced both academic research and practical system design, earning him recognition in the computational linguistics community. His ability to connect formal models with human-centred applications makes his research particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring the future of interactive AI and assistive communication technologies.
