Esteban Tlelo Cuautle received a B.Sc. degree from Instituto Tecnológico de Puebla (ITP) México in 1993. He then received both M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica (INAOE), México in 1995 and 2000, respectively. During 1995-2000 he was with the electronics-engineering department at ITP. In 2001 he was appointed as Professor-Researcher at INAOE. He has been Visiting Researcher in the department of Electrical Engineering at University of California Riverside, USA (2009-2010), in the department of Computer Science at CINVESTAV, México City, México (2016-2017), and Visiting Lecturer at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC, Chengdu 2014-2019). He has authored 5 books, edited 12 books and more than 300 works published in book chapters, international journals and conferences. He is member in the National System for Researchers (SNI-CONACyT-México). His research interests include integrated circuit design, optimization by metaheuristics, fractional-order chaotic systems, artificial intelligence, security in Internet of Things, and analog/RF and mixed-signal design automation tools.

Jose Martinez-Carranza is a Full-Time Principal Researcher B (equivalent to Associate Professor) in the Computer Science Department at the Instituto Nacional de Astrofisica Optica y Electronica (INAOE). In 2015, he was awarded the Newton Advanced Fellowship granted by the Newton Fund and the Royal Society in the UK. Currently, he holds an Honorary Senior Research Fellowship in the Computer Science Department at the University of Bristol in the UK. He leads a research team that has won international competitions such as 1st Place in the IEEE IROS 2017 Autonomous Drone Racing competition and 1st Place in the Regional Prize of the OpenCV AI Competition 2021. He also served as General Chair of the International Micro Air Vehicle conference, the IMAV 2021. In 2022, he joined the editorial board of the journal "Unmanned Systems". His research focuses on vision-based methods for robotics with applications in autonomous and intelligent drones.
