What is COMRob 2026?

The Mexican Association of Robotics (AMRob) is a research community that contributes to and promotes the dissemination of knowledge in robotics, both from classical and modern perspectives, including related areas that are currently under development.

For more than 28 years, AMRob has supported the training of students and professionals and has promoted new technologies in Mexico and Latin America.

  • Promote robotics in education, research, technological development, and industrial applications.
  • Disseminate advances and research results in robotics.
  • Serve as a link among members of the robotics community.
  • Promote collaboration between academia and the productive sector.

To fulfill these objectives, AMRob organizes the Mexican Robotics Congress (COMRob) every year, bringing together students, researchers, and professionals from different branches of robotics to share current research advances and results.
