Robotics Lab Coordinator

Claudia Artzer joined IHMC in June 2025 as the Robotics Lab Coordinator, overseeing administrative operations and logistical support of the Lab. She works closely with the lab’s research teams (Humanoid and Legged Robotics, Exoskeletons, and Human-Machine Teaming) to ensure smooth day-to-day function and coordination.

Claudia brings over six years of international experience in administration, having held key roles at renowned arts organizations across France, Italy, Luxembourg, and, more recently, the United States. Notably, she served as the Orchestra Administration Manager at the Opéra National de Lorraine, one of France’s most important theaters. Her expertise spans contract negotiation, budget management, communications, and event coordination. In addition, she is the founder of Sipario, a Florida-based artist management agency.

She studied at the Université de Lorraine in France, where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications, and two Master’s Degrees -one in Law, and another in Art History. Her Master’s thesis, published in 2019, explored the architecture and cultural roles of Italian opera theaters in the 20th century.

In addition, Claudia has a solid musical background. She began studying piano with her dad at the age of three and later earned a Conservatory Degree in Classical Guitar from the Conservatoire du Grand Nancy.

Originally from France, Claudia comes from a multicultural family and is fluent in French, Spanish, Italian and English.

In her free time, she especially enjoys spending quality time with her family. She also likes philosophy, music and art history.
