========================================================

IEEE LARS 2018 - 15th Latin American Robotics Symposium
SBR 2018 - 6th Brazilian Robotics Symposium

The IEEE LARS and SBR (Latin American Robotics Symposium / Brazilian
Robotics Symposium) aim at promoting a comprehensive scientific meeting in
the area of Intelligent Robotics, bringing together researchers,
undergraduate and graduate students of Computer Science, Electrical
Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Computer Engineering and related
fields.

The event will include technical sessions of oral presentation of full
papers and technical lectures of recognized importance in the area.

The LARS and SBR are the major scientific/academic meetings of a broader
event that has other relevant events in robotics, named ROBOTICA 2018.
This event also comprises the  LARC/CBR (Latin American Robotics
Competition / Brazilian Robotics Competition), OBR (Brazilian Robotics
Olympiad), MNR (National Robotics Fair), WRE (Workshop of Robotics in
Education) and EXPOTEC (Technological Expo from Paraíba).

The LARS/SBR will take place in João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil from November
6th to 10th, 2018.

We are looking forward to seeing you in LARS/SBR 2018.
