Today the Department has 19 permanent members of teaching and research staff and approximately 800 undergraduate students and 50 doctoral ones. The objectives of department include the programming of the production process; the research, design and automatisation of the production; decision making and management. The proposed work will be carried out in the Laboratory of Robotics and Automation at the Department of Production and Management Engineering. The objectives of the Laboratory are to cover the educational and research needs in the scientific disciplines of automation, robotics, mobile systems, computer vision, intelligent systems, as well as safety in robotics systems and HRI. Standardisation in robotics is another topic of study in the Lab, while Antonios Gasteratos is a member of the IEEE Ontologies for Robotics and Automation Standard Working Group.
