Key Projects

Member of Hermes Team
Hermes Team is a project led by University of Thessaly students, aimed at creating a robotic ex-
oskeleton for individuals suffering from spinal cord injury. The team was accepted as a participant at
Cybathlon 2024, a non-profit contest by ETH Zurich. Configured the controllers to interface seamlessly with the system’s kinematic model, ensuring
precise alignment with the exoskeleton’s movement requirements. I designed and implemented a multithreaded synchronization system to coordinate actuator
movements in real-time, ensuring precise and smooth motion across all joints.

GSL Letter Recognition Using MediaPipe and PyTorch
Developed a sign language recognition system with 369 individual classes using MediaPipe Hands and Python, capturing
camera input to detect hand landmarks for real-time inference.
• Trained a machine learning model using a pre-existing dataset of labeled Greek sign language hand poses,
applying preprocessing techniques to normalize landmark data and improve classification accuracy.
