What happens when a robot helps you shop? This question shaped a groundbreaking project led by Dr. Marco Rozendaal, where VR simulations in a supermarket explored how people and robots interact in public spaces. By blending design, theatre, and puppeteering, the research revealed how robots can earn trust and acceptance—not through perfect programming, but by designing behaviors that feel meaningful and socially appropriate.
At TU Delft, blended learning combines the flexibility of online teaching with the impact of face-to-face interaction. One tool making this possible is the Lightboard—a transparent glass board that lets educators write while facing the camera. Unlike traditional slides, it shows both the lecturer’s explanations and their expressions, making learning more engaging and personal. From flipped classrooms to problem-solving videos, the Lightboard helps teachers share not just answers, but the thinking process behind them—turning lessons into stories that connect with students.
Cok Francken’s 30-year journey at TU Delft spans posters, identity systems, and large-scale installations. Known for clarity and balance, he begins with pencil sketches and draws inspiration from real-world textures and photography. His experience with big formats and careful use of AI tools shapes designs that feel authentic, thoughtful, and visually compelling.
