Advances in Automation and Robotics Research

This book comprises the proceedings of the V Latin American Congress on Automation and Robotics, held at Cusco, Perú, from November 10 to 12, 2025. The discipline of robotics is characterized by continuous and rapid advancement, and congress proceedings constitute an essential medium for the dissemination of novel research findings, technological developments, and innovative applications.The book reflects the breadth and depth of contemporary inquiry in robotics and automation. They encompass theoretical foundations, methodological innovations, and applied perspectives, addressing topics such as kinematic and dynamic modeling, the formulation of control algorithms, the design and implementation of autonomous and robotic systems, teleoperation technologies, and computer vision. Furthermore, this book engages with emergent applications and delineates prospective challenges that shapes the trajectory of the field.The scope of the book is intentionally broad, encompassing diverse domains of engineering, scientific research, and professional practice. The thematic coverage includes, but is not limited to:Industrial automation and robotcisProcess control, modeling, and optimizationControl theory and artificial intelligenceField and space roboticsAerial, terrestrial, and underwater robotic vehiclesKinematic and dynamic analysis of robotic systemsComputer vision, mapping, and navigationInstrumentation, sensing, and sensor fusionNovel robot architectures and modular componentsHaptics, human–robot interaction, and interface designSimulation methodologies and experimental validationMulti-robot systems and embodied multi-agent systems
