Apostolos Apostolou

Welcome to my website!

My name is Apostolos Apostolou. I am a Mechanical Engineer (University of Cyprus), driven by a strong desire to contribute to innovative projects. With a solid foundation in mechanical engineering, I am enthusiastic about continuous learning and development. Actively pursuing opportunities to translate theoretical knowledge into practical applications, I am dedicated to assisting lead engineers across various tasks to ensure the triumph of projects. My fascination with mechatronics, robotics, IoT, and mechanical design is matched by my willingness to embrace new challenges with an open mind.

Some of my latest projects

Design and Development of an Indoor Autonomous Mobile Robot for Payload Transportation

For my final year thesis, I developed an autonomous wheeled robot for payload transportation using ROS2. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and Autonomous Navigation algorithms (NAV2 Framework) were implemented in both a simulation (Gazebo) environment and on the real hardware. Moreover, the Arduino code for controlling the robot’s motors using velocity commands and a PID controller was developed. The robot’s hardware includes an Arduino Mega, a Raspberry Pi 5, DC Motors with encoders and a LiDAR sensor.

Custom Low-Cost Data Acquisition Module

During a two-month summer internship at the Energy Efficiency Control Optimization Laboratory at Texas A&M University, I undertook the design and implementation of a low-cost Data Acquisition (DAQ) module. This module is primarily used to measure critical parameters of compressed air systems.

Indoor Robot Positioning System Based On Wi-Fi Signals: An Implementation Using Machine Learning

This project represents an approach of defining the position of a mobile robot by detecting Wi-Fi signals around it and implementing machine learning algorithms.

ICARUS Flight Controller

This flight controller can be used for controlling model and high-power rockets and provide all the necessary functionalities for data measuring and logging as well as controlling thrust vector control systems.
