LARS-LARC 2026

The IEEE Colombia Section and the Universidad Militar Nueva Granada are proud to host the 26th Latin American Robotics Competition (LARC) and the 23nd Latin American Robotics Symposium (LARS). Recognized as the most prestigious academic events in robotics and artificial intelligence in Latin America, LARS and LARC unite top-level competitions and scientific conferences that promote research and development in the field.

The Latin American Robotics Symposium (LARS) and the Latin American Robotics Competition (LARC) are leading robotics events in the region, bringing together researchers, students, and industry professionals from across Latin America and the world. The 2026 edition will take place from November 4–6, continuing the tradition of promoting innovation, scientific exchange, and high-level robotics competitions.

LARS/LARC 2026 will be hosted by the Universidad Militar Nueva Granada in Bogotá, Colombia. Known for its growing leadership in engineering and robotics, the university provides an ideal setting for the event. Bogotá’s vibrant culture, modern infrastructure, and dynamic tech environment make it an exciting destination for participants from around the globe.

We welcome proposals for tutorials that offer engaging, high-quality content relevant to the symposium's topics and to the broader Latin American robotics community. Proposals may target academic, professional, or educational audiences, and should aim to foster learning, collaboration, and active participation.

Proposals that promote collaboration between academia, industry, and education, or that are designed with the needs of the Latin American community in mind, will be especially valued.
