About

Anastasis Kounoudes is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, ambient assisted living (AAL), and wireless positioning systems. His work primarily focuses on developing intelligent, non-obtrusive technologies to support independent living for older adults, integrating social assistive robots (SARs), IoT devices, virtual communities, and smart objects into cohesive home-care platforms. His most notable contribution is the MoveCare Project, which demonstrates how these heterogeneous systems can monitor, assist, and provide real-time recommendations to elders in their own homes. The project’s flagship paper has garnered 62 citations, highlighting its influence on the AAL and gerontechnology fields. Kounoudes also made significant strides in wireless localization with the RESOLUTION project, which developed a high-precision 3D local positioning system using FMCW radar and pulsed active reflectors—a foundational contribution to mobile communication and positioning. His work is characterized by a commitment to real-world deployment, addressing the challenges of long-term, complex environments. With a career spanning both foundational wireless systems and cutting-edge assistive robotics, Kounoudes continues to shape how technology can enhance quality of life for aging populations.
