Georgios Andrikopoulos

Georgios Andrikopoulos is an Assistant Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology's Department of Industrial and Environmental Management (ITM), affiliated with the Digital Futures Faculty. He serves as Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI) on the 'Real-time exoskeleton control for human-in-the-loop optimization' project, focusing on advanced robotics and human-technology interaction. His research spans soft robotics, exoskeleton systems, and adaptive climbing robots, with applications in healthcare, aerospace, and education.

Key projects include:

• "Connecting Bodies – Designing Shape-changing Wearables" (Postdoc Fellowship, 2023–2025)
• "Advancing real-time exoskeleton control for human-in-the-loop optimization" (Demonstrator Project)
• SEC scholar collaboration with Mohamed Elbadawi (May–June 2024)

Research interests emphasize:

• Soft robotic actuators for safe human interaction
• Optimization of compliant mechanisms in robotics
• Vortex adhesion systems for autonomous inspection
• Design of child-friendly interactive robots

His work integrates robotics with control systems, biomechanics, and human-centered design. Over 50 peer-reviewed articles demonstrate contributions to exoskeleton technology, climbing robot algorithms, and soft actuator modeling. He advises students like Laia Turmo Vidal (Postdoc) and Mohamed Elbadawi (SEC scholar).

Affiliated with the cross-disciplinary Digital Futures initiative, he collaborates with Stockholm University and RISE Research Institutes to address societal challenges through digital innovation.
