Frederic Kaplan’s Summary

http://www.fkaplan.com/

Frederic Kaplan graduated as an engineer of the Ecole Nationale Supérieur des Télécommunications in Paris and received a PhD degree in Artificial Intelligence from the University Paris VI. After ten years of research at the Sony Computer Science Laboratory in Paris, he supervises now a new team on interactive furniture at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). In his research, he has been exploring technologies permitting to endow objects with a personal history so that they become different as we interact with them and to learn from one another, thus creating an ecosystem in perpetual evolution. In parallel with his research in artificial intelligence, he collaborates with developmental psychologists, ethologists, neuroscientists, designers and architects. His multidisciplinary researches have been published in international scientific journals of these different fields. He authored two books "La naissance d'une langue chez les robots" (the birth of a language among robots) (Hermes, 2001) and "Les machines apprivoisées: comprendre les robots de loisir" (Tamed machines: understanding entertainment robots) (Vuibert, 2005)
