Georgios Giannakaras

• Designed, developed and tested software components for underwater robots with C++, ROS, Linux and Gmock/Gtest. • Developed Yocto components and maintained the Yocto framework for the robot. • Implementing the Firmware for a Digital Seismic Module, multi-threaded, with FreeRtos and C/C++ on a Microchip MCU (Arm Cortex-M7). • Determined system requirements and completed the System Design. • Integrated the lwIP TCP/IP stack for communication over Ethernet. • Utilized various Peripherals (I2C, SPI, Ethernet).

• Developed a visual inertial odometry system for underwater vehicle navigation. • Sensor fusion, including a machine vision camera (FLIR) and an IMU (SBG), interfaced with a microcontroller and NVIDIA embedded system (Jetson Xavier). • Visual inertial SLAM algorithm optimized on the embedded system. (C++, ROS, Python, CUDA, OpenCV).

• Maintained and set-up computer networks. • Provided technical support for the computer systems in a highly disciplined environment.

• Developed a simulation in language C to reproduce low-level computation errors. • Applied on the design of systems that are energy-efficient and scale gracefully under hardware errors, by operating below the nominal operating point in a controlled way. • EU research Project SCoRPiO (http://www.scorpio-project.eu/).
