About
Petros Souretis is a pioneering researcher in the field of construction robotics and automated concrete repair, with a particular focus on hydro-erosion technologies. His most notable contribution is the conceptualization and development of the HEROIC system—a robotic platform designed for hydro-erosive concrete repair preparation. This work, published in 1999, established foundational principles for robotic concrete removal, emphasizing the critical importance of excavation geometry in extending the lifespan of repair materials. Souretis demonstrated that precise, automated hydro-erosion could avoid the micro-cracking and structural damage common with traditional mechanical methods. Although his seminal paper has garnered 4 citations, its influence is significant within the niche of construction automation, inspiring subsequent research in non-destructive concrete remediation. His work represents an early and visionary integration of robotics into civil infrastructure maintenance, highlighting the potential for automated systems to enhance repair quality and longevity. For students and researchers in construction robotics and structural engineering, Souretis’s HEROIC concept remains a landmark in the pursuit of smarter, less invasive repair technologies.
