Pericles Tseg

Pericles Tseg serves as a Lecturer in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering within the School of Sciences at the European University of Cyprus since 2020. He has maintained continuous affiliation with the institution since 2003, initially serving as Special Educational Staff before transitioning to his current academic role.

Academic Background:

• Doctoral Degree in Information Technology, Walden University (2017)
• Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Science, University of Texas at Austin (2003)
• Degree in Computer Science, University of Texas at Austin (2001)

His research integrates robotics, artificial intelligence, and software engineering with practical applications in education and healthcare. Early work focused on aspect-oriented programming in embedded systems, evolving toward educational robotics and therapeutic applications. Current interests emphasize remote experimentation platforms for programming education and robotic systems for pediatric rehabilitation, reflecting a trajectory from theoretical software engineering to human-centered technological solutions.

Publication trends reveal a strategic shift from foundational work in embedded systems (2006) toward applied robotics in education and therapy (2017-2018). This progression demonstrates consistent focus on solving real-world problems through technology, with increasing emphasis on user adoption studies and therapeutic implementations. The research bridges computer science with pedagogy and clinical applications, highlighting interdisciplinary collaboration.

Research Leadership:

• EU FP6: Being on Time Saves Energy (2004-2007) as Researcher
• EU FP6: MUSIC (2006-2010) as Researcher
• Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation: iDesme (2011-2013) as Researcher
• Erasmus+: JOBIT (2015-2017) as Researcher
• EU Horizon 2020: MEDEA (2018-) as Researcher

As Head of the Scientific Committee for Robotex Cyprus, he established the Cypriot branch of Robotex Estonia, managed national competitions (2017-2018), and led Cypriot teams in international events. His work connects academic research with practical STEM outreach, creating pipelines from classroom experimentation to competitive robotics.
