About

Spyridon Psarras is a researcher advancing the frontiers of autonomous aerospace maintenance, with a primary focus on the inspection and repair of composite structures. His work is central to the development of robotic platforms that can autonomously detect and remediate damage in aeronautical composites, a critical need for modern aircraft safety and longevity. His most influential paper, "Autonomous Inspection and Repair of Aircraft Composite Structures" (2018), has garnered 12 citations and details the foundational work of the H2020 CompInnova project. In this study, Psarras and his team designed a novel robotic system that integrates combined infrared thermography for damage detection, enabling a fully autonomous repair cycle. A follow-up paper (2018, 6 citations) expands on these results, presenting the platform’s capabilities in the project’s first two years. Psarras’s contributions are pivotal in shifting composite maintenance from manual, time-intensive processes to efficient, automated solutions. His work not only reduces aircraft downtime but also enhances repair precision, making him a key figure in the push toward smarter, safer aerospace infrastructure.
