FlexTech Chair philosophy is based on human-centered design (HCD) and creativity, collaborative work, cognitive engineering, complexity analysis, organization design and management, modeling and human-in-the-loop simulation, artificial intelligenece, advanced interaction media, and the study of life-critical systems.
HCD combined with Systems Engineering leads to Human Systems Integration (HSI).
We automated a lot during the 20th century increasing safety, efficiency and comfort in nominal situations, but leading to rigidity in off-nominal situations. It is time to develop research and innovation on flexibility that increases autonomy of technology, organizations and people.
This is the shift from HighTech to FlexTech.
Our major goal is to make human-systems integration (HSI) concrete and successful, at the intersection of human and social sciences, systems engineering, human-computer interaction & artificial intelligence
FlexTech Chair was founded in September 2019 as a collaborative venture between LGI CentraleSupélec (Paris Saclay University) and ESTIA Institute of Technology. It is modeled to create and develop a unique new center of excellence in HSI.
Working with members from industry, academia and civil society, FlexTech Chair draws on a wide variety of viewpoints in developing its activities. Current members are: French Air & Space Force; CS Group; Thales; and Ingenuity. Moreover, the results of its work are made available to its members so that ideas that transform the way we live and work can move from the laboratory to implementation.
FlexTech Chair collaborates with other research and industrial institutions such as ISAE-SUPAERO (Aerospace Institute of Technology), ENSC (French Cognitive Engineering School), CEAM (French Airforce Research Lab)... It was founded by Professor Guy André Boy, Fellow of INCOSE, the Air & Space Academy and the IAA, Former Chief Scientist for Human Centered Design at NASA Kennedy Space Center.
