Yasmina Bestaoui Sebbane (19602018) was a full professor in Automatic and Robotics at the University of Evry, Val dEssonne (France,) where she also served as the department head (20062015). She was an Academic Palms recipient (2017) and led and contributed to many scientific committees and collaborations with other universities to create new teaching courses. She earned her PhD in Control and Computer Engineering from “ Ecole Nationale Sup“erieure de M“ecanique, Nantes, France, in 1989 (currently “ Ecole Central de Nantes), and her Research Advisor Qualification (HDR: Habilitation to Direct Research) in Robotics from the University of Evry, France, in 2000. Her research interests included control,planning, and decision-making of unmanned systems, particularly unmanned aerial vehicles and robots.
