He received his Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in October 2012. His thesis concerned the development of a modeling and a simulation environment with experimental validation for a monopod robot. He is currently working on the dynamics and control of quadruped robots with segmented torso.
Kostas was born in Athens in April 1989. He received a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece, in February 2013. He works in the area of embedded systems and robotics since 2008. Currently, he is a PhD candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of NTUA. His research focuses on dynamics, design and control of legged robots. Besides his academic research, he has extended professional experience.
He received his BSc in Applied Informatics from the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki in 2008, MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Edinburgh & MSc in Automation from the National Technical University of Athens, in 2009 and 2013 respectively. His research focuses on perception, motion planning, and control for biomimetic legged robots so that they can handle rough terrains and slopes.
Antonis is a diploma student at the School of Mechanical Engineering of NTUA, currently undertaking his thesis on mechanical design and manufacturing of legged robots. His work focuses on combining traditional with lightweight materials, aiming at lightweight yet stiff robotic chassis designs. He is currently working on the design and development of an improved chassis for the CSL Single Actuated Hopping Robot (SAHR). His interests include structural analysis, CAD, CAM and CNC machining.
