About
Nikolaos Laskaris is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction (HRI) and natural language processing (NLP), with a focus on creating more intuitive and intelligent interfaces between humans and machines. His work centers on integrating virtual assistants, automatic speech recognition (ASR), and advanced semantic models into robotic systems to enhance their communicative capabilities. Laskaris’s most cited paper (19 citations), “Inquiring Natural Language Processing Capabilities on Robotic Systems through Virtual Assistants,” proposes a systemic approach that reimagines virtual assistants as the cognitive core of robots. He has also developed novel algorithms for natural language generation in Greek using hole semantics and systemic grammar, and explored the application of ASR in operational HRI contexts. Notably, his research extends to assistive technology, where he investigates how HRI systems can support individuals with brain damage-related speech and perception issues. With a growing portfolio of work that bridges theoretical linguistics and practical robotics, Laskaris is making significant contributions to the development of more responsive, language-capable robotic systems for both everyday and specialized use.
