About
Nikolaos I. Spanoudakis is a leading figure at the intersection of Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE), model-driven development, and educational robotics. His foundational work demonstrates how modern model-driven engineering can systematically specify the behavior of multi-robot teams, bridging a critical gap between AOSE methodologies and practical robotic software. His most-cited paper (19 citations) on model-driven behavior specification for robotic teams established a framework that enables engineers to design complex, coordinated behaviors without low-level coding. Spanoudakis further advanced this domain by developing the Kouretes Statechart Editor, a CASE tool that evolved into a generic platform for agent behavior development, and by engineering multi-agent systems with statecharts (6 citations). Beyond robotics, he has pioneered the integration of agile learning methodologies—specifically Scrum sprints—into K-12 education using educational robotics, as detailed in his 2024 paper (2 citations). As the founder of Team Kouretes, Greece’s only RoboCup team, he has achieved international recognition for bringing model-driven rigor to robotic soccer. His recent review (2025) synthesizes how educational robotics and agile learning can transfer Industry 4.0 skills to primary and secondary classrooms, cementing his impact on both software engineering and STEM education.
