About

Y.E. Papelis is a researcher specializing in autonomous mobile robot navigation, robot design, and simulation systems. Their work focuses on enabling robots to perceive and navigate indoor environments in real time, as well as providing tools for designing and testing robotic systems. A key contribution is the development of a novel method for real-time corridor detection using a single depth camera, which allows robots to identify corridor-like structures by analyzing wall geometry, even in cluttered settings. This work, published in 2021, has garnered 2 citations and addresses a fundamental challenge in indoor robot mobility. Papelis also created IRODESS, an integrated robot design and simulation system that features a specialized descriptive language for designing custom robots and workcells, enabling users to implement and test control algorithms within a unified simulation environment. This 2003 contribution, also with 2 citations, demonstrates Papelis’s long-standing commitment to advancing both practical navigation techniques and comprehensive design tools for robotics research and education.
