Ongoing Research
- TUCer team 2007-now
TUCer (Technical University of Crete eco racing) team designs, develops and races with eco friendly - zero emission - urban vehicles, powered by hydrogen fuel cells or batteries since 2007.
Funded by the Technical University of Crete and sponsors.
TUCerous is a low cost and open source modular platform, consisting from off-the-shelf components, which can be used for experimentation and research in the area of autonomous cars and driving.
Funded by the Technical University of Crete and sponsors.
Design of a testing bed for experimenting with the TUCer team prototype electric cars.
Funded by the Technical University of Crete and sponsors.
Development of a prototype robotic base that follows a traveller and carries his baggage.
Funded by the School of Production Engineering and Management of the Technical University of Crete.
- Biomimetic Behavior 2016
Design and programming, in simulation, of biomimetic multi-robot systems that emulate the hunting behavior of gray wolves.
- reDevil autonomous robot 2016-now
reDevil is a ROS powered, open source robotic renovation project of an outdated all terrain, mini class, robotic vehicle produced in 2000.
Funded by the 2017 Postgraduate Studies Program of the School of Production Engineering and Management of the Technical University of Crete.
A novel cooperative controller design for autonomous underwater vehicles is proposed, implemented and tested. The design procedure follows the basic principles of behaviour-based systems to create two different biomimetic roles.
