Dr. George Nikolaos Saridis (also known as George Saridis; November 17, 1931 – October 29, 2006) was a co-founder and pioneer of Intelligent Control[1] [2] [3] [4][5]. He was a professor at Purdue University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Prof. Saridis was a Life Fellow of the IEEE and an elected member of the Greek Academy of Athens. He was the Founding President of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Council/Society. In honor of the memory of Prof. George Saridis, IEEE RAS has established the George Saridis Leadership Award in Robotics and Automation[6] to recognize outstanding contributions of an individual for his/her exceptional leadership, and dedication that benefit the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, and the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society has created the George N. Saridis Best Transactions Paper Award [7][8][9][10].
Biography[edit]
Prof. Saridis was born on November 17, 1931, in Athens, Greece, and died on October 29, 2006, in his home in Athens. He received the diploma in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens in 1955, the M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. degrees from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA, in 1962 and 1965, respectively.
Academic life[edit]
Prof. Saridis was a pioneer in intelligent control, learning control, adaptive control, control of nonlinear and stochastic systems, robotics, and traffic control systems, making significant contributions to the advancement and application of engineering and technology. He also made significant contributions to the early development of computational intelligence.
From 1963 until 1981 he was with the School of Electrical Engineering of Purdue University. From September 1981 until his retirement in 1996, he was professor in the Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering Department and director of the Robotics and Automation Laboratories at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In 1973 he served as program director for system theory and applications in the Engineering Division of the National Science Foundation, Washington, D.C. From 1988 until 1992, he was director of the NASA Center for Intelligent Robotic Systems for Space Exploration at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)[11]. In 1995 he was appointed honorary professor of Huazhong University, Wuhan, China.
Prof. Saridis was an active member of the IEEE Control Systems Society, IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society, and IEEE Robotics and Automation Society for over three decades, serving multiple terms on the AdCom, the Board of Governors, and numerous committees, conference committees, and publication boards. In 1984, he became the founding president of the IEEE Council on Robotics and Automation (which became a society in 1987) and continued to serve the Society through the next decade. In 1985, he was the founding general chair of the IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control (ISIC), and in 1986, the founding chairman of the Technical Committee on Intelligent Control of the IEEE Control Systems Society. Prof. Saridis was the recipient of the IEEE Centennial Medal Award in 1984, the IEEE Control Systems Society's Distinguished Member Award in 1989, and the Certificate of Appreciation of the IEEE Society of Robotics and Automation.
Selected works[edit]
- Proved mathematically using entropy the Principle of Increasing Intelligence and Decreasing Precision.
- Coedited the first book on fuzzy automata with M.M. Gupta and B.R. Gaines, Fuzzy Automata and Decision Processes (North-Holland, New York, 1977) and pioneered the application of neural networks and Boltzmann machines in task planning and trajectory generation for intelligent robotic systems.
