Robot Hackathon: Edge of Intelligence
- WHO IT IS FOR: This event is designed for robotics, machine learning, and software engineers looking to bridge the gap between AI models and physical hardware.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: Participants will deploy vision and robot-policy models on real robotic arms using Intel hardware and the Viam platform.
- FORMAT: This is a two-day, hands-on technical hackathon featuring dedicated hardware kits and expert mentorship.
Join Viam and Intel for the 'Edge of Intelligence' Robot Hackathon, a high-intensity, two-day event where engineers bring AI to life. Every participating team is equipped with a complete robotics kit, including a robot arm, gripper, depth camera, and a high-performance compute machine powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 processors. This is your chance to move beyond simulation and run sophisticated OpenVINO models on real-world hardware.
Whether you are interested in imitation learning through demonstration, deploying massive vision-language-action models on edge devices, or building industrial defect detection pipelines, there is a track for you. With Intel and Viam engineers on-site to provide mentorship and judging, you can focus entirely on model optimization and task execution rather than troubleshooting drivers. Space is limited, so apply early to secure your spot in this cutting-edge robotics challenge.
