We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our laboratory has been awarded at the 4th Robotics & Intelligent Systems Festival of the Municipality of Kalamata, with two exceptional student teams—ACES HIGH and NEW FRONTIERS!
In the competition, we presented two groundbreaking systems:
Human-drone communication using natural language, allowing users to operate drones effortlessly, without the need for specialized training.
A real-time wildfire detection and mapping platform (web app), utilizing an autonomous UAV connected to a 4G/5G network to pinpoint and visualize fire outbreaks instantly.
We are overjoyed to share that we have won two prestigious awards—the "Innovative Design" award and the "Groundbreaking Idea" award!
A huge congratulations to our brilliant teams for their hard work and ingenuity! 🚀🔥
🚀 Ever wondered what it's like to be a university student in Informatics & Telecommunications? 🚀
During the event "A Day as a University Student," we welcomed school students to our Digital Communications & Systems Lab for an exciting hands-on experience! 🔬🎓
They explored:
✅ UAV (Drone) Systems
✅ GPS Fundamentals
✅ Natural Language Commands for Drone Control
A fun and inspiring introduction to cutting-edge tech and the world of digital communications! 💡📡
For an additional year, Prof. Sagias and Assoc. Prof. Peppas, from the DCS Lab, have once again achieved recognition as part of the global top 2% of scientists, based on their significant contributions to their research field.
This prestigious acknowledgment comes from Stanford University’s recently released list. [R1].

It is with great pride and heartfelt joy that we announce the successful public defence of Mr. Panagiotis Argyrakis’ PhD thesis, titled: "Signal and Data Processing, Time Series Analysis of Permanent and Portable GNSS Stations, and Multipath Effect with Application to Geosciences."
This extraordinary research explored cutting-edge methodologies in GNSS data processing, with significant contributions to understanding seismic phenomena and geosciences. Mr. Argyrakis’ work has already led to notable academic publications and applications, exemplifying the rigor and innovation characteristic of top-tier doctoral research.
The advisory committee, composed of Prof. George Tsoulos, Dr. Athanasios Ganas, and Prof. Nikolaos Sagias, guided and supported Mr. Argyrakis throughout this journey. Today, the 7-member examination committee (Nikolaos Sagias, George Tsoulos, Athanasios Ganas, John Moscholios, George Glentis, Petros Bithas, Ioannis Dokas) unanimously graded his thesis as Excellent, recognizing the depth and breadth of his contributions.
Let us all join in celebrating this remarkable achievement!

Get ready to be amazed! 🚀
Our groundbreaking Large-Scale Autonomous UAV Swarm Management System is revolutionizing area and infrastructure inspection.
Picture this: A swarm of drones, guided by quantum-powered precision, autonomously receives target coordinates via lightning-fast 4G/5G networks. These agile UAVs form a perfect triangular dance in the sky, flawlessly navigating to waypoints while maintaining their synchronized formation. But that’s not all! As they hover above regions of interest, capturing multiple angles for thorough inspection, our system’s onboard camera runs cutting-edge AI detection algorithms.
And guess what? It can autonomously trigger an alarm when it spots a specified target. It’s like having a team of futuristic inspectors working tirelessly in the skies! ✨👏📸
All the above were developed and tested by the Aces High Team, part of the DCS Lab.
