About

Nikolaos Evangeliou is a robotics researcher whose work spans aerial manipulation, surgical robotics, and autonomous systems. His research focuses on developing intelligent, multi-robot cooperative frameworks and precision control methodologies for complex real-world applications. Among his most recognized contributions is his work on cooperative aerial transportation, where teams of unmanned aerial manipulators operate in leader-follower configurations to autonomously transport payloads — a paper that has already garnered 7 citations since 2023. This work pushes the boundaries of multi-UAV coordination and dexterous manipulation in unstructured environments. Evangeliou has also made meaningful contributions to surgical robotics, developing Remote Center of Motion (RCM)-constrained control strategies for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, supported by virtual reality simulation frameworks that address perception and manipulation challenges in clinical settings. His practical contributions extend to robotic infrastructure, including a novel method for generating distinctive marker configurations in motion capture systems, cited 6 times since its 2025 publication. More recently, his research has addressed 2D autonomous exploration strategies for robots navigating obstacle-cluttered environments. Collectively, his work demonstrates a versatile and application-driven research vision, bridging theoretical control methods with tangible advances in medical and aerial robotics.
