About
Christos Pantos is a researcher at Wageningen University whose work sits at the intersection of open science, educational robotics, and circular design. His primary research focus is on developing accessible, low-cost robotic platforms that democratize technical education while promoting sustainability. Pantos’s most notable contribution is the ReFiBot—a robotic educational kit designed to foster academic open science and circularity. The ReFiBot Makers Guide, his most-cited work with 6 citations, outlines a replicable framework for building robots from recycled materials, enabling schools and universities to integrate hands-on robotics curricula without prohibitive costs. This work directly addresses the growing need for technical literacy in STEM education while embedding principles of material reuse and open-source sharing. Pantos’s approach bridges engineering pedagogy with environmental consciousness, making him a key figure in the movement toward sustainable, inclusive technical training. His achievements include pioneering a model that empowers educators to adopt robotics in classrooms worldwide, reducing e-waste and lowering barriers to entry. For students and researchers, Pantos exemplifies how engineering can serve both educational equity and ecological responsibility.
