Guillaume Caron 

Universite de Picardie Jules Verne, France

Guillaume Caron (Senior Member, IEEE) received the Ph.D. degree in robotics and the Habilitation degree from the University of Picardie Jules Verne (UPJV), France, in 2010 and 2019, respectively. He has been an Associate Professor with the UPJV since 2011, and a CNRS delegate with CNRS-AIST Joint Robotics Laboratory (JRL), IRL, Japan, since 2019. He has been the co-director of JRL since 2022. He has been serving as Associate Editor for the IEEE ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION LETTERS since 2023. His research interests include artificial vision for robotics, real-time visual tracking and servoing, and digital heritage. He was the Chair of the IAPR Technical Committee 19 on « Computer Vision for Cultural Heritage Applications » for two terms from 2018 to 2022. 

Pedro Santos 

Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD

Pedro Santos develops the first fully autonomous, robot-aided 3D digitization technologies for a faithful, virtual reproduction of real world objects, which enable automated, accurate and physically correct reconstruction of their geometry, texture and optical material reflectance properties. The used reconstruction techniques digitize objects using a variety of sensors and light-sources under controlled environmental conditions for comparable results of the highest quality. Pedro Santos is author or co-author of over 100 publications and reviewer for ACM, Eurographics and IEEE, as well as further organizations.
