Fotios Konstantinidis

Dr. Fotios Konstantinidis leads the Intelligent Industrial Manufacturing Systems Division at I-SENSE (ICCS/NTUA) and serves as Product Leader for Sorting Solutions at CogniSensus, bridging research, industrial validation and productisation. He holds a PhD in Smart Manufacturing and degrees in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Mechatronics & Systems Automation.

He leads a 25-member team delivering industrial machinery and cyber-physical solutions from concept to TRL-validated pilots and deployable products, guiding product growth. The division is structured around four pillars: Industrial Sensing (hyperspectral, visual and X-ray perception), Industrial Physical Intelligence (AI perception, state estimation, adaptive control), Intelligent Fabrication Systems (robotic cells, end-effectors, in-process inspection), and Intelligent Industrial Manufacturing Systems (integration, traceability, optimisation). His work targets robotic waste segregation and quality characterisation for mining and food/agri operations, leveraging delta robots, air nozzles, sensing suites and pretreatment units.

Previously, he was an Industry 4.0 Technology Analyst at Smarterchains SA, assessing plant maturity and developing I4.0 strategies and training. Earlier roles span telecom networks, R&D on a smart medical device, and junior IT support in the Military Research & Informatics Department. He publishes, presents, organises workshops, and contributes to research and innovation projects.
