About
Evangelos Boukas is a robotics researcher whose work spans autonomous navigation, computer vision, and human-robot interaction, with particular emphasis on applying intelligent systems to real-world safety and exploration challenges. His most cited contribution, "Robot Guided Crowd Evacuation" (2014, 84 citations), demonstrates his early interest in deploying robots for public safety, establishing him as a pioneer in human-aware robotic systems. Boukas has made significant contributions to space robotics through his involvement in the European Space Agency's SPARTAN project, developing low-cost vision architectures for Martian exploratory rovers — work that garnered over 50 citations across multiple publications. His research into visual odometry and stereo-based navigation (totaling nearly 50 citations) has advanced reliable self-localization for autonomous mobile robots. More recently, he has broadened his scope to include marine vessel inspection, agricultural robotics through few-shot weed segmentation, and compliant manipulator control via online inverse dynamics learning. Together, his body of work reflects a versatile researcher consistently bridging theoretical innovation with practical deployment, accumulating over 260 citations across domains that range from planetary exploration to precision agriculture.
