About

Ourania Tsilomitrou is a researcher whose work bridges wireless sensor networks, mobile robotics, and rehabilitation engineering — areas where embedded systems design meets real-world human and environmental challenges. Her most recognized contribution, a wireless motion capture system for upper limb rehabilitation (2021, 17 citations), demonstrates her commitment to accessible healthcare technology, offering a cost-effective, 9-degrees-of-freedom sensor node designed to monitor patient progress outside traditional clinical settings, reducing hospitalization time and associated costs. This work builds upon her earlier 2019 prototype development, reflecting a sustained research trajectory toward practical rehabilitation tools. Equally significant is her body of work on mobile robots as data mules within wireless sensor networks. Across three publications spanning 2017 to 2021, Tsilomitrou has progressively refined algorithms for optimal robot trajectory planning, tour scheduling, and multi-robot path optimization to efficiently harvest data from static sensor nodes — addressing real constraints such as node hardware limitations and communication impediments. Her 2018 scheduling paper garnered 8 citations, signaling growing community interest in this approach. Collectively, her research reflects a versatile engineering profile, combining algorithmic problem-solving with applied system design, making her work valuable to students and professionals in robotics, IoT infrastructure, and assistive medical technology.
