We are excited to announce that our first Latin American Summer School on Cognitive Robotics (LACORO) is taking place on 2 weeks from now. This event aims at making cutting-edge knowledge on Artificial Intelligence for Robotics Applications accessible to everyone, especially in the Southern Hemisphere.

We are mindful of uncertainty prompted by the outbreak of COVID-19 and we cannot forecast what impact it may have in the coming weeks and months. Despite this, we are still organizing LACORO, albeit as a webinar.

Our aims are:

- to build a sustainable community of students and researchers in the area of Artificial Intelligence for Robotics, particularly Cognitive Inspired Aspects of AI.

- to make cutting-edge scientific topics accessible to everyone.

- to overcome the complexity of a multi-cultural and interdisciplinary learning context.

*Format:* We will organize the Summer School in Latin America biennially. LACORO will include cutting-edge lectures and tutorials on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics but also aspects of Human Cognition. Moreover, we will host a hackathon where attendees can acquire hands-on experience on some of the topics of the Summer School.

*Date and Location*: September 1st to September 4th, 2020 through Zoom application.

*Registration:* Please visit our website (www.lacoro.org), where you can find more information about invited speakers and corresponding schedule. We extended the registration deadline until the 23rd August 2020 . This Webinar will be free of charge.

If you have any questions about the school or the registration process, please contact the organizing committee: l****o@innovacionyrobotica.com
