Lucian
Busoniu received the M.Sc. degree (valedictorian) from the Technical University
of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in 2003 and the Ph.D. degree (cum laude) from the
Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, in 2009. He has held research
positions in the Netherlands and France, and is currently an associate
professor with the Department of Automation at the Technical University of
Cluj-Napoca. His fundamental interests include planning-based methods for
nonlinear optimal control, reinforcement learning and dynamic programming with
function approximation, and multiagent systems; while his practical focus is
applying these techniques to robotics. He has coauthored a book and more than
50 papers and book chapters on these topics. He was the recipient of the 2009
Andrew P. Sage Award for the best paper in the IEEE Transactions on Systems,
Man, and Cybernetics.



Levente Tamas received the M.Sc. (valedictorian) and the Ph.D.
degree in electrical engineering from Technical University of Cluj-Napoca,
Romania, in 2005 and 2010, respectively. He took part in several postdoctoral
programs dealing with 3D perception and robotics, the most recent one spent at
the Bern University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland. He is currently with the
Department of Automation, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. His
research focuses on 3D perception and planning for autonomous mobile robots,
and has resulted in several well ranked conference papers, journal articles, and
book chapters in this field.
