Dr. Artde D.K.T. Lam was born in Hong Kong on February 23, 1965. He received the B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan, in 1987, and the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering (in field of mechanical design) from National Sun Yat-Sen University (NSYSU), Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in 1993. Currently, he is a Distinguished Professor in Department of Digital Design, Fujian University of Technology, Fuzhou, Fujian, P. R. China. His current research interests include nanotechnology, innovation design, creative design and Fractal Theory.

Dr. Stephen D. Prior has been working in the area of Field Robotics for the past 25 years. His research interest in autonomous systems relates to a shortlisted entry to the MoD Grand Challenge event in August 2008, where he led a team to design, make and test a novel drone, which consisted of a patented Y6 arrangement. On the basis of this, he founded the Autonomous Systems Lab and has been researching with a small team of staff/students working on defence-related robotic technologies. His team won the DARPA UAVForge competition in 2012, and he continues to lead teams to success in the annual IMechE UAS Challenge event. He is on the editorial board for the International Journal of Micro Air Vehicles & Unmanned Systems and has published widely on the subject. During the last few years he co-founded a Tethered UAS company developing a persistent stare capability.

Siu-Tsen Shen has studied widely, gaining her Masters degree in Industrial Design Research from the Design Academy of Eindhoven, and her PhD in Design from Goldsmiths College, University of London. She has been a visiting professor at UCL and Middlesex University, UK and is currently a Professor in Multimedia Design at the National Formosa University, Taiwan. Her research interests lie in the areas of HCI, User-Centred Design, Cross-Cultural Research, User Inter
