Frédéric Kaplan Pedagogical Research and Support Researcher web site: http://www.fkaplan.com office(s): CE1628 phone(s): [+41 21 69] 32274 BIOGRAPHY Frederic Kaplan, engineer and specialist of artificial intelligence and new interfaces, worked ten years for Sony, before joining the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. He is co-founder with the designer Martino d’Esposito of OZWE, a company that produces and commercializes the objects they invent together. His research has led to about a hundred scientific publications and his prototypes have been on display in international museums such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris or Museum of Modern Art in New York. He authored several popular science books including "La naissance d'une langue chez les robots" (the birth of a language among robots) (Hermes, 2001), "Les machines apprivoisées: comprendre les robots de loisir" (Tamed machines: understanding entertainment robots) (Vuibert, 2005) and more recently "la metamorphose des objets" (the metamorphosis of object) (Fyp, 2009).
