Panel

	Javier Civera SLAM Lab & Robotics, Perception and Real-Time Group Associate Professor at University of Zaragoza	Javier Civera is an associate professor at University of Zaragoza and an expert in SLAM. His research interests include Computer Vision and Robotics, specifically Structure from Motion, SLAM and visual recognition.
	Michael Milford QUT Centre for Robotics Professor at School of Electrical Engineering & Robotics, QUT	Michael Milford conducts interdisciplinary research at the boundary between robotics, neuroscience and computer vision and am a multi-award winning educational entrepreneur. His research models the neural mechanisms in the brain underlying tasks like navigation and perception to develop new technologies in challenging application domains such as all-weather, anytime positioning for autonomous vehicles.
	Miloš Prágr Computational Robotics Laboratory Czech Technical University in Prague	Miloš is a Postdoctoral researcher in the Computational Robotics Laboratory Department at the Czech Technical University in Prague. Miloš’ research aims to improve the autonomy of mobile robots on long-term, unsupervised missions in outdoor environments. His main focus is on assessing traversability through complex environments, such as terrains whose traversability changes with time or vegetation that appears rigid but can be passed through.
