LARS is a unique opportunity to present original research, student posters, and applied case studies in a collaborative, robotics-focused environment. Whether you're investigating autonomous systems, designing novel platforms, or exploring education through robotics, this is where your work finds its audience.

Accepted papers will be submitted to the LARS Proceedings in IEEE Xplore, while students can gain recognition and experience through poster presentations that elevate their academic path.
