We are pleased to announce the IEEE RAS ICRA 2025 LA@Chile Satellite, a satellite event of the ICRA 2025 conference sponsored by IEEE RAS. The primary objective of this event is to provide remote participation opportunities in Chile for researchers and students from Latin America to ICRA 2025, along with access to on-site keynote and plenary talks, young researchers & Ph.D. sessions, an undergraduate & graduate poster competition, and hands-on courses.  The IEEE RAS ICRA 2025 LA@Chile Satellite will not charge registration fees and will provide travel grants for Latin American students.

Our long-term goals are as follows:
