Konstantinos Karakasiliotis Doctoral Program in Computer & Communication Sciences PhD student birth date: 04.03.1984 nationality: Greek web site: http://birg.epfl.ch/page68559.html office(s): INN233 phone(s): [+41 21 69] 36714 BIOGRAPHY Konstantinos Karakasiliotis received his diploma in Electronics and Computer Engineering at the Technical University of Crete (T.U.C.). He worked for 12 months as a Research Associate in the Computational Vision and Robotics Laboratory (CVRL) at the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FO.R.T.H.) where he developed a biomimetic robotic undulatory prototype that imitates the locomotion and morphology of the Nereis Polychaete worms. The biggest part of the above work was the topic of his diploma thesis. He worked for 8 months as a Research Associate in the Intelligent Systems Laboratory in T.U.C. where he initiated with Prof. Michail G. Lagoudakis the Larvabot project. The goal of this project is to develop biomimetic robotic prototypes that combine the undulatory and climbing gaits in one system, imitating the morphology of the Chlorochlamys Chloroleucaria larva. In April 2008 he joined BIRG as a Research Assistant and a PhD candidate where he works on the hardware of the LAMPETRA project.
