Janusz Będkowski is a distinguished scholar with a DSc and Ph.D. in mobile robotics. Currently, he is a researcher at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Science. Dr. Będkowski has a wealth of experience in the practical and theoretical aspects of simultaneous localization and mapping applications on a global scale. His current work focuses on the use of autonomous mobile mapping

methodologies to integrate geodesy, cartography, geoscience, and mobile robotics from an end-user perspective. Dr. Będkowski actively participates in the European Land Robotic Trial (ELROB) and the European Robotics Hackathon (ENRICH). Additionally, he contributes to open-source projects such as: https://github.com/ JanuszBedkowski/gpu\_computing\_in\_robotics, https://github.com/JanuszBedkowski/observation\_equations, and https://github.com/MapsHD.
