Ivan Villaverde earned a BS in Computer Science (2003) and a PhD in Computer Science (2009), both from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). His early research focused on computer vision and computational intelligence applied to robotic navigation. After completing his thesis, he remained a contract researcher at the UPV/EHU until he joined CIDEMCO in 2010. During the following years, he developed industrial automation and intelligent building automation projects. In 2013 he joined the Flexible Robotics group at TECNALIA, where he currently holds a Robotics Senior Researcher position. His research activities focus on the development of robotics applications in industrial environments and the mobility and flexibility of robots and autonomous vehicles, applying a multidisciplinary approach.

Arkaitz Urquiza Gonzalez earned a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Deusto in 2009 and Master’s Degree in Advanced Computer Systems from the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU) in 2011. During his first years, his research focused on the automotive field, especially in the development and implementation of HMI systems, and he was also involved in research on automated vehicle systems. He has held a Researcher position at TECNALIA since 2017, where he has worked in the field of robotics for the development of systems that facilitate industrial manufacturing processes and access to operators in the new automated premises paradigm. His research areas include robotic manipulation, verification and validation of systems, and development of user-friendly applications for non-expert users.

Jose Luis Outón Méndez is a Computer Engineer. After graduating in Technical Engineering in Computer Systems from the UPV/EHU in 2010 and later in Higher Computer Engineering in 2013, he obtained a Master's Degree in Computer Engineering and Intelligent Systems, also from the UPV/EHU (2015). He has been part of Tecnalia since 2013, and is currently a member of the Means of Production and Robotics area in the Industry and Mobility Operating Unit. He has been involved in multiple industrial R&D projects, where his main activity has been focused on the development of projects related to autonomous navigation in hybrid and unstructured environments using 2D and 3D perception systems. He is currently finishing his doctoral thesis in robotics, called "Innovative solutions based on mobile manipulators for the new flexible manufacturing paradigm within the framework of Industry 4.0."
