About
Panagiotis Sotiropoulos is a leading researcher in industrial robotics, specializing in the systematic evaluation and benchmarking of robotic manipulation systems. His work focuses on pick-and-place operations, human-robot interaction, and compliant end effectors for handling delicate objects. Sotiropoulos co-authored the highly cited "A Bin-Picking Benchmark for Systematic Evaluation of Robotic Pick-and-Place Systems" (41 citations), which addresses the critical need for reproducibility in industrial robotics research. His "Workspace analysis for planning human-robot interaction tasks" (39 citations) introduced the concept of the Interaction Workspace, enabling safer and more efficient human-robot collaboration. Sotiropoulos also developed benchmarking frameworks for compliant under-actuated soft end effectors (17 citations) and robotic systems in grocery settings (13 citations), advancing the handling of deformable objects like fruits and vegetables. His contributions provide standardized evaluation methodologies that bridge the gap between research and industrial adoption, making him a key figure in the push toward more reliable, flexible, and collaborative robotic systems.
