LACORO 2024 - 3rd Latin American Summer School on Robotics
Rancagua (Chile) in person, 9-13 December 2024
We are excited to announce the 3rd Latin American Summer School on Robotics (LACORO), which aims at making cutting-edge knowledge on Artificial Intelligence for Robotics Applications accessible in the Southern Hemisphere.
Our aims are:
- to build a sustainable community of students and researchers in the area of Artificial Intelligence for Robotics.
- to foster intercultural student collaboration within and outside the Americas
- to make cutting-edge scientific topics accessible to everyone.
The Summer School will provide a clear overview of Robotics, while also providing an in-depth analysis of state-of-the-art research in the areas of Cognitive Robotics, Soft Robotics, and Robot Vision, and in the application areas of Agricultural Robotics, and Robotics for Mining.
The Summer School will have presentations by renowned international speakers, including the following confirmed speakers:
Angelo Cangelosi, University of Manchester, UK
Josei Hughes, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland
Karinne Ramirez-Amaro, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden
Javier Ruíz-Del-Solar, Universidad de Chile, Chile
Miguel Torres Torriti, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile
Format: LACORO will include cutting-edge lectures and tutorials on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. Moreover, we will host tutorial and mentoring sessions for both scientific topics and other aspects of the academic research world.
Date and Location: LACORO will be held in-person from the 9th to 13th of December, 2024 at the Universidad de O’Higgins (UOH), Rancagua, Chile.
Registration will open 1st July 2024

SCOPE & MOTIVATION:
ACAIN 2024: AI meets Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Science
The ACAIN 2024 symposium and course is an interdisciplinary event featuring leading scientists from AI and Neuroscience, providing a special opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research in the fields of AI, Neuroscience, Neuroscience-Inspired AI, Human-Level AI, and Cognitive Science.
The 4th Advanced Course and Symposium on Artificial Intelligence & Neuroscience (ACAIN) is a full-immersion four-day Course and Symposium in Tuscany on cutting-edge advances in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience with lectures delivered by world-renowned experts. The Course provides a stimulating environment for academics, early career researchers, Post-Docs, PhD students and industry leaders. Participants will also have the chance to present their results with oral talks or posters, and to interact with their colleagues, in a convivial and productive environment.
Two days of keynote talks and oral presentations, the ACAIN Symposium, (September 24-25), will be preceded by lectures of leading scientists, the ACAIN Course, (September 22-23).
Bringing together AI and neuroscience promises to yield benefits for both fields. The future impact and progress in both AI and Neuroscience will strongly depend on continuous synergy, exchange, collaboration and efficient cooperation between the two research communities. These are the goals of the International Course and Symposium - ACAIN 2024, which is aimed both at AI experts with interests in Neuroscience and at neuroscientists with an interest in AI. ACAIN 2024 accepts rigorous research that promotes and fosters multidisciplinary interactions between artificial intelligence and neuroscience.
The Advanced Course is suited for scholars, academics, early career researchers, Post-Docs, PhD students and industry leaders.
The Event (Course and Symposium) will involve a total of 36-40 hours of lectures.
Academically, this will be equivalent to 8 ECTS points for the PhD Students and
the Master Students attending the Event.
