Dr Anthony Franzè is a Lecturer in Product and User Experience Design at the Queensland College of Art and Design (QCAD), Griffith University, and a Postdoctoral Researcher in human–robot collaboration at Queensland University of Technology (QUT).

An industrial designer and researcher, his work focuses on how humans and intelligent systems work together in construction and manufacturing. He explores this through robotics, extended reality (XR), artificial intelligence, and additive manufacturing.

Anthony began his career in industry, working for over twenty years as an industrial designer across Australian SMEs and multinational companies, including EGR, UAP and the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing Hub (ARM Hub). This experience continues to inform his research and teaching, keeping his work grounded in manufacturing and construction contexts.

He contributes to national initiatives, including the Building 4.0 Cooperative Research Centre, the Australian Cobotics Centre, and the Construction and Architectural Robotics Lab (CARL) at QUT, and is affiliated with the Creative Arts Research Institute (CARI) at Griffith University.
