Accepted papers ar e presented through technical sessions\, promoting scientific discussion a nd collaboration among participants from academia\, industry\, and researc h institutions.\n\nIn addition to the scientific program\, the event featu res keynote speeches delivered by internationally recognized experts\, tut orials\, workshops\, panel discussions\, and networking activities that en courage collaboration between universities\, research centers\, startups\, and industrial partners. These activities provide attendees with opportun ities to learn about cutting-edge technologies\, establish new collaborati ons\, and strengthen the robotics ecosystem throughout Latin America.\n\nA distinctive component of the event is the Latin American Robotics Competi tion (LARC)\, which complements the symposium by providing students with h ands-on experience through a series of robotics challenges that promote in novation\, teamwork\, engineering design\, and practical problem-solving. The competition attracts undergraduate and graduate teams from multiple co untries and serves as an important platform for talent development and kno wledge exchange.\n\nSpeaker(s): Nadia\, Rafael\n\nCra. 11 #101-80 Universi dad Militar Nueva Granada\, Bogota\, Distrito Capital de Bogota\, Colombia LOCATION:Cra. 11 #101-80 Universidad Militar Nueva Granada\, Bogota\, Distr ito Capital de Bogota\, Colombia ORGANIZER:miguel_gonzalezr@ieee.org SEQUENCE:59 SUMMARY:Latinamerican Robotics Symposium and Competition 2026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/565793 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" st yle="text-align: center\;" data-start="210" data-end="607"><img src="https ://events.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display/b761ad22-dc61-479d-a2d6- f2ece3dee66f" width="419" height="629"></p>\n<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnc horContainer" data-start="210" data-end="607">&nbsp\;</p>\n<p class="PDq2p G_selectionAnchorContainer" data-start="210" data-end="607">The <strong>La tin American Robotics Symposium (LARS) and the Latin American Robotics Com petition (LARC)</strong> constitute the flagship IEEE Robotics and Automat ion Society event in Latin America\, bringing together researchers\, stude nts\, industry professionals\, educators\, and technology leaders from acr oss the region to foster collaboration and advance the state of the art in robotics and automation.</p>\n<p data-start="612" data-end="1170">The con ference serves as a premier forum for presenting original research\, excha nging technical knowledge\, and discussing emerging trends in <strong>robo tics\, artificial intelligence\, autonomous systems\, computer vision\, co ntrol systems\, human-robot interaction\, machine learning for robotics\, robot perception\, navigation\, manipulation\, multi-robot systems</strong >\, and other related areas.
