HERMES Team is the largest student research group in Greece in Biomedical & Healthcare Robotics, operating in the University of Thessaly (Volos, Greece). The team develops a fully functional robotic exoskeleton for individuals with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), with the goal of restoring mobility, aiming to support daily activities and enhance independence, while also working on Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) and physical AI robotics.
A key objective is participation in the international Cybathlon competition organized by ETH Zurich, in the “Exoskeleton Race”, where the team achieved the first-ever Greek participation in 2024. Through its research, publications and conference participation, HERMES Team contributes to the advancement of assistive technologies and the improvement of quality of life for people with disabilities.
Supported by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Thessaly , the team continues to pursue technological innovation and impactful research.
