About
Evangelos Skartados is a roboticist whose work bridges human-robot interaction, healthcare robotics, and autonomous subsurface mapping. His research focuses on developing robots that can perceive, understand, and assist in complex, unstructured environments—from the home to the underground. Skartados made significant contributions to assistive robotics through his work on the RAMCIP project, a service robot designed to provide proactive, discreet support for elderly individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairments (MCI), including a complete pipeline for robotic assistance in medication intake. His multi-sensorial approach to garment recognition, combining RGB-D, tactile, and photometric sensors, advanced robotic perception of deformable objects. In the domain of construction robotics, Skartados pioneered automated 3D underground mapping using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) antennas mounted on mobile robots, enabling large-scale subsurface utility detection. His work on UAV-based semantic segmentation of energy infrastructure further demonstrates his versatility. With over 140 citations across his most-cited papers, Skartados’s research has been recognized for its practical impact, particularly in healthcare and construction automation.
