Robot Hackathon: Fine Motor Skills
- WHO IT IS FOR: Ambitious software developers and curious builders interested in physical AI, regardless of prior robotics experience.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: A hands-on challenge focused on developing AI applications for robot arms with a specific emphasis on fine motor skills.
- FORMAT: A two-day, competitive hackathon featuring both benchmarked technical challenges and an open-innovation track.
Join Viam in New York for an intensive two-day hackathon dedicated to the intersection of physical AI and robotics. Participants will work in small teams to build end-to-end applications using professional hardware, including UFactory xArm and Universal Robots arms, RealSense cameras, and Linux compute machines. Whether you are a seasoned engineer or a software developer looking to break into robotics, this event provides the tools and expert mentorship needed to bring AI into the physical world.
Challenge your skills in the Benchmark track by tackling high-precision tasks like charger plugging, liquid pouring, or Jenga pulls, or unleash your creativity in the Open track by designing a custom robotics project from scratch. With high-stakes prizes including professional robot arms and Viam credits for the top teams, this is a premier opportunity to push the boundaries of robotic manipulation and fine motor control.
