Our Founders

fotis dimeas co-founder and CEo of progressive robotics

Fotis Dimeas

CEO & co-founder

His dream has always been to put state-of-the-art research into the real world. After his PhD in human-robot collaboration, he has gained strong knowledge on what it takes to combine multi-disciplinary research for making robots smarter and easy to use. Having gone through the pain of robot integration, he is an advocate of why ease of use should be of equal importance to core functionalities.
