He also runs robocademy, an online platform for robotics education. With strong proficiency in ROS, OpenCV, and PCL, Lentin has authored 10 widely acclaimed books on robotics, including Learning Robotics Using Python and Mastering ROS for Robotics Programming. He holds a bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from FISAT and a master's in Robotics and Automation from Amrita University. During his studies, he developed a gesture- and speech-interactive social robot that gained media attention. Lentin has also conducted research at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute, delivered a TEDx talk, and actively contributes to robotics education through workshops, blogs, and training programs.

Jonathan Cacace was born in Naples, Italy, on 13 December 1987. He earned a Bachelor's and Masters of Science in Computer Science from the University of Naples Federico II. He then joined the university's PhD program, earning the title of Philosophiae Doctor in Automation and Computer Engineering in 2016. During his research career, he had the opportunity to participate in and lead various applied research projects focused on robotics, funded by the European Union. This allowed him to explore several areas of robotics, ranging from robot manipulation to navigation. After completing his PhD, he continued his scientific research and work in applied robotics, contributing to more than 50 scientific publications in leading robotics conferences and scientific journals. He also worked as a private consultant for several startups across Europe. From 2019 to 2023. He worked as an assistant professor at the University of Naples, where he taught two courses: Laboratory of Robotics and Mobile Robotics. During this time, he mentored many undergraduate students in the field of Robotics and Computer Engineering. He was also invited to speak at an international robotics workshop held at one of Europe's most prestigious research centers and universities. Currently, Jonathan works as a senior researcher in the field of Cognitive Robotics and Human-Robot Interaction at Eurecat - Centre Tecnol�gic de Catalunya in Barcelona.

Consequences of revocation

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse you all payments that we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a different type of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of your revocation of this contract.
For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged any fees for this repayment.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier.

Reasons for exclusion or extinction

The right of revocation does not apply to contracts

for the delivery of goods which are not prefabricated and for the manufacture of which an individual choice or determination by the consumer is decisive or which are clearly tailored to the personal needs of the consumer;
for the delivery of goods that can spoil quickly or whose expiry date would be exceeded quickly;
for the delivery of alcoholic beverages, the price of which was agreed at the time of conclusion of the contract, but which can be delivered at the earliest 30 days after conclusion of the contract and whose current value depends on fluctuations in the market over which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for the delivery of newspapers, magazines or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts.

The right of revocation expires prematurely in the case of contracts

for the delivery of sealed goods that are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene, if their seal has been removed after delivery;
for the delivery of goods if they have been inseparably mixed with other goods after delivery due to their nature;
for the delivery of sound or video recordings or computer software in a sealed package, if the seal has been removed after delivery.
