Lires Lab

Welcome to the official LinkedIn page for the Laboratory of Informatics and Robotics Applications in Education and Society - LIRES. LIRES focuses on teaching, research and scientific needs related to state of the art applications of Informatics and Robotics in Education and Society. Research areas of the laboratory are: Human-robot interaction, design, and development prototypes of robotic entities for social support applications (Socially Assistive Robotics) based on the stakeholders’ needs, Educational Robotics, utilization of robotic technologies in the development of skills and strategies, Digital transformation for Sustainable Development Education, etc. LIRES members (members of UoM and other universities, PhD candidates and external researchers) implement National, European, and inside projects, with publications in scientific journals / conferences and awards in international competitions. LIRES has excellent know-how in a wide range of objects, from design and implementation of robotic systems, with social, pedagogical, and industrial character. The LIRES laboratory supports the Postgraduate Program "Sciences of Education and Lifelong Learning" in the implementation of research with the development of technological and software. The LIRES laboratory also supports social actions in collaboration with services and social organizations. At the same time, it is supervised by the Robotics Academy of UoM (https://robotics.uom.gr), whose courses are attended by students of all ages throughout Greece.
