**About the Editors**

#### **Alejandro Suarez**

Alejandro Suarez (Dr.) received his degree in telecommunication engineering and M.Sc. degree in automation and robotics from the University of Seville, Spain, in 2012 and 2014, respectively, and his Ph.D. degree in robotics in 2019. Since 2012, he has been with the Robotics, Vision and Control Group at the University of Seville, working on several European projects, including FP7 EC-SAFEMOBIL, H2020 AEROARMS, and H2020 HYFLIERS. For three months he stayed at the Robotics and Mechatronics Institute, DLR, Oberpfaffenhofen. He is currently working on the AERIAL-CORE H2020 Project, the ERC Advanced GRIFFIN Project, and other projects with companies involving robotic manipulation. He is the author of 35 articles in international conferences and journals related to aerial robotics. His research interests include aerial robotic manipulation, humanoid robots, and the development of anthropomorphic, compliant, and lightweight robotic arms (LiCAS).

#### **Jonathan Cacace**

Jonathan Cacace (Dr.) was born in Naples, Italy, on December 13, 1987. He received his master's degree (magna cum laude) in computer science from the University of Naples Federico II in 2012 and his Ph.D. degree in robotics in 2016 from the same institution. Currently, he is working as an Assistant Professor at the PRISMA Lab (Projects of Robotics for Industry and Services, Mechatronics and Automation Laboratory) at the University of Naples Federico II, where he is involved in several research projects in the fields of human–robot interaction in Industry 4.0, the autonomous control of UAVs for inspection and maintenance, and robotic manipulation. He serves as an Associate Editor for the IEEE ICRA conference and IEEE's Robotics and Autonomous Letters.

#### **Matko Orsag**

Matko Orsag (Dr.) is an Associate Professor at the University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing. He is and has been involved in various projects in the fields of robotics, control, and automation. In 2011/2012 he worked as a visiting researcher at Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA as a recipient of the Fulbright exchange grant. He has coauthored over 60 scientific and professional journal and conference papers, a book chapter, and a monography in aerial robotics. He has helped organized multiple international conferences, serves as an editor of several journals, and is currently serving as the National Coordinator of European Robotics Week as well as the IEEE RAS Croatian Section Chair. In 2019 he received a Croatian Academy of Engineering young scientist award, "Vera Johanides".
