Democritus
University of Thrace is a University consisting of 18 Departments in 4 cities
located in NE Greece. The Department of Production and Management Engineering
was established in 2000. The activities of the Laboratory of Robotics and
Automation include among others Robotics, Machine and Computer Vision, Applied
Electronics for Automations, VLSI and FPGA implementation of any algorithm.

The
group of DUTH is skilled in the following topics:
-Non
linear image/signal processing,
-Application
of fuzzy for image processing and system control,
-Hardware
implementation of several algorithms for real-time processing,
-Instrumentation
and measurements.
The
Democritus University of Thrace is a non-profit organisation and its main
objective is research and education. The exploitable results of this project is,
therefore, limited into these two functions. The goal of DUTH is to increase its
team working in the field of its expertise, which can be realised by means of
CARiMan project.
We
could participate in any of the following:
SP:
Signal Recognition
PD:
Signal Conditioning
MS:
Sensor/Actuator
Also, we would like to participate in
Ve: A robot for volcano exploration
However, we should read at least a draft version
of this part.

Prof.
Antonios Gasteratos was born in Athens, Greece on 10 March 1972. He received the
Diploma and the Ph.D. degrees both from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
(DECE), Democritus University of Thrace (DUTH), Greece, in 1994 and 1998,
respectively. During 1999-2000 he was a post-doc fellow in the Laboratory for Integrated Advanced Robotics,
DIST, University
of Genoa, Italy, with a TMR (EU) grant. During 2002-2003 he was a
visiting Assistant Professor at DECE, DUTH. He is currently a Lecturer at
Department of production and Management, DUTH. His research interests include
robot vision, fuzzy and non-linear image processing, digital VLSI design and
computer architectures. He is a member of the IEEE and the Technical Chamber of
Greece (TEE). Prof. Gasteratos has published over 30 articles in international
journals and conferences and 2 book chapters.
Prof.
Ioannis Andreadis received the Diploma Degree from the Department of Electrical
Engineering, DUTH, Greece, in 1983, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the
University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST), UK, in
1985 and 1989, respectively. His research interests are mainly in machine vision
and VLSI-based computing architectures for machine vision. He joined the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, DUTH, in 1992, where he is
currently an Associate Professor. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the
Pattern Recognition Journal, the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) and the IEEE.
Prof.
Philippos Tsalides was born in Mirina Limnou, Greece, on October 14th 1953. He
received the Diploma Degree from the University of Padova, Italy, in 1979
and the Ph.D. degree from DUTH, Greece, in 1985. He is the Professor of Applied
Electronics in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, DUTH. His
current research interests include VLSI architectures, VLSI systems, BIST
Techniques, Smart Imaging Systems, Applications of Cellular Automata in Image
Processing, as well as in Computational Systems. He has published a number of
papers and a Textbook on VLSI Systems (Basic Principles of Design and
Fabrication). He is a fellow member of the IEE and a member of the Technical
Chamber of Greece (TEE).
