About the workshop:
The field of Cognitive Robotics is experiencing unprecedented growth in our days. Because an intelligent robot is a physically situated intelligent agent, the tools and techniques for designing purposive, intelligent, and adaptive robot capabilities significantly
overlap with Artificial Intelligence’s (AI) methodologies and approaches. These range from older symbolic mechanisms for knowledge representation, reasoning, and planning to current techniques in reinforcement learning, transformers, and Large Language Models.
This field of combining AI and Robotics is referred to as “Intelligent Robotics,” “Robotics & AI,” or “Cognitive Robotics.” As defined in the 1998 AAAI Winter Workshops, Cognitive Robotics is “concerned with integrating reasoning, perception and action within
a uniform theoretical and implementation framework”. Cangelosi and Asada, in the recent book Cognitive Robotics, define the field as combining insights and methods from AI and cognitive and biological sciences to robotics.
Message from the organizers
In this spirit, we are organizing a half-day workshop on Cognitive Robotics and AI that will take place during the 13n Hellenic
Conference on Artificial Intelligence (SETN) in Piraeus, Greece, on the 12th of September 2024. The workshop will feature invited talks from distinguished scholars and a poster session with contributed papers.
Motivation & Goal
The scope of this workshop is to gather researchers from different research areas across several sections. This way, we will range the discussion from previously experienced problems to contemporary solutions while focusing on the future trends that remain
an open problem in the community. Talks from highly recognized scholars/researchers in the field and questions and answers during the workshop session will enable the interaction of the audience with the pioneers. Furthermore, we will host a poster session
where the young and upcoming participants in the field will be able to interact with esteemed scholars, thereby exchanging ideas and further enhancing their research philosophies.

Hellas (FORTH) Vision
To position Greece as a leading player in AI and Data Science
Mission
To build an AI Excellence Hub in Greece where the international research community can connect, groundbreaking ideas can thrive, and the next generation of scientists emerges, shaping a brighter future for Greece and the world
Welcome to ARCHIMEDES, a vibrant research hub connecting the global AI and Data Science research community fostering groundbreaking research in Greece and beyond. Its dedicated core team, comprising lead researchers, affiliated researchers, Post-Docs, PhDs and interns, is committed to advancing basic and applied research in Artificial Intelligence and its supporting disciplines, including Algorithms, Statistics, Learning Theory, and Game Theory organized around 8 core research areas. By collaborating with Greek and Foreign Universities and Research Institutes, ARCHIMEDES disseminates its research findings fostering knowledge exchange and providing enriching opportunities for students. Leveraging AI to address real-world challenges, ARCHIMEDES promotes innovation within the Greek ecosystem and extends its societal impact. Established in January 2022, as a research unit of the Athena Research Center with support from the Committee Greece 2021, ARCHIMEDES is funded for its first four years by the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
Archimedes and the Biomedical Research Foundation Share Latest Findings in AI and Medicine
4 March 2025
Archimedes and the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens successfully hosted a special collaborative session at the Panhellenic Working Group Seminars of the Hellenic Society of Cardiology. This session focused on innovative applications of artificial intelligence in medicine, with a particular emphasis on advancements in cardiology. Held on Friday, February 7, 2025, in Room MC2 of the Megaron Athens International Conference Centre, the event brought together leading experts to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming cardiovascular medicine.
Archimedes Reaches Milestone of 200 Publications
12 February 2025
Archimedes is proud to announce that its researchers have published over 200 scientific publications in top-tier conferences (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML) and journals.Archimedes maintains a vibrant scientific community of over 130 researchers, including more than 60 senior researchers (faculty members from Greece and abroad), 12 postdoctoral fellows, and 55 PhD students, along with over 20 undergraduate interns from various disciplines.
Happy International Greek Language Day!
9 February 2025
Today, we celebrate the historical, cultural, and linguistic significance of the Greek language. While Standard Modern Greek often takes center stage, we at Archimedes - AI and Data Science Research Hub recognize the impressive diversity and great cultural significance of its numerous dialects. These dialects present both exciting opportunities and complex challenges for AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) because each one of them presents unique linguistic features and all of them are low resourced. That’s why we’re using cutting-edge AI to document, digitize, and analyze these invaluable linguistic treasures, ensuring their preservation and accessibility for generations to come.
Two Research Positions in Data Stream Management Systems & Big Data Management
7 February 2025
We are pleased to announce the availability of two research positions in data stream management systems and big data management, to be co-supervised by Assistant Professor Odysseas Papapetrou from the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Netherlands and Professor Minos Garofalakis from the Technical University of Crete in Greece.
The project “ARCHIMEDES Unit: Research in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Algorithms” with code OPS 5154714 is implemented by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0” and is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
