About
Panagiotis Angelakis is a leading researcher in human-robot collaboration and intelligent manufacturing systems. His work centers on integrating artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and advanced control systems to create safer, more efficient industrial environments. Angelakis’s most cited paper, “Virtual reality environment for industrial robot control and path design” (45 citations), demonstrates his pioneering approach to combining immersive technologies with robotic programming. He has made significant contributions to human-robot co-manipulation, particularly in handling flexible materials and large payloads, as evidenced by his work on model-based control for fabric handling (17 citations) and multi-robot coordination for aeronautic applications. His recent research on leveraging generative AI and large language models for collaborative assembly represents a paradigm shift in manufacturing, enabling more intuitive human-robot interaction. Angelakis has also developed frameworks for worker-in-the-loop systems and zero-defect manufacturing through closed-loop perception control. With over 120 total citations and multiple publications in 2024 alone, his work is increasingly influential in shaping the future of smart manufacturing, where humans and robots work seamlessly together to achieve unprecedented flexibility and precision.
