The team participated for the first time in the international exhibition of thessaloniki on the 8th to the 16th of September. It was the 83th year the exhibition was organized. We were on section 12 and invited by Digital Greece.

EUROBOT ROBOT CITIES 2018 LA ROCHE SUR YON

The team won the 35th place out of the 300 entries, successfully passing the third and final stage at the Eurobot (European Robotics Competition), held in La Roche sur Yon, France, on 9-13 May 2018. Its participation was a landmark in the history of the competition since it was the first Greek team to participate since its launch in 1998.

PROJECT CRONUS @ MAN VS MACHINE

The team presented, for the first time in Greece, on April 23rd 2018, the Cronus project, a robotic chess playing arm that can even win against a proficient chess grand master.

REGIONAL ROBOTICS COMPETITION

Our team and the students of the University of Western Macedonia supported the Regional Robotic Competition for yet another year.

NAO AND ROBOTIC ARM

Our team programmed a robot to sing the Cretan carols and a robotic arm to decorate the Christmas tree of our lab. At the pace that technology advances,the costs decrease exponentially, and so, in a few years, the robots will not just be objects in factories and specialized laboratories but will begin to enter into our daily lives as a facilitating tools.

OPEN INNOVATION

Our presence at the Kozani Open Innovation event.

I2FEST 2017

AWARD OF OUR TEAM

The award ceremony of our team by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and the Greek Association of Information Technology & Communications Enterprises - SEPE within the Digital Economy Forum 2016.

WORLD ROBOT OLYMPIAD INDIA

The preparation of the team for the World robotics Olympics in New Delhi took place in intensive, exhausting rhythms. We had prepared the robot for the best possible result. Unfortunate factors such as last-minute flight cancellations and luggage losses did not daunt us. There was a positive mood that helped us deal with any problem. This became apparent when the robot could not work after the jury's examination of the standards and during the first round. The team, with coordinated moves, managed to locate the problem in a short period of time and reprogrammed the robot, thus scoring high in the second round. However, in combination with the zero score of the first round, it was unable to qualify to the finals. Nonetheless, our team managed to acquire a good place (28th in a total of 52 teams) thanks to the high score of the second round. For the experience of participation and for giving us the opportunity to partake in this competition, we warmly thank Cisco Greece, GEANALYSIS, OKTABIT, SingularLogic and also the Greek Telecommunication Operators Association (SEPE), TIF Helexpo and the University of Western Macedonia that trusted us to represent it.

WORLD ROBOT OLYMPIAD QATAR

At the WRO World Robotics Competition that was held in Doha, Qatar on the 6th to 8th of November 2015, our team ranked 19th in the world (in a total of 37 teams),after acquiring the first place in Europe and Greece amongst the other universities.

EUROBOT ATOM FACTORY 2019 LA ROCHE SUR YON

Thanks to the experience we gained from last year we managed to take the first 2 victories for our country and collect 226 points totally with our robots Uranus and Gaia in the European Robotics Competition.
