ROBOTICS X AI – HACKLAB
Two-day hackathon for builders, engineers, founders, and researchers developing hands-on prototypes at the intersection of robotics, AI, and Physical AI.
ROBOTICS X AI – HACKLAB #2 brings together developers, robotics engineers, startup founders, and researchers for an intensive weekend focused on building working prototypes in robotics and Physical AI.
Participants start hacking on Saturday morning and can continue working overnight. The goal is to move beyond concepts and experiment directly with AI-enabled robotics, hardware, and related technologies. Teams receive access to free credits from participating technology providers during the hackathon.
On Sunday, projects must be submitted by 5:45 PM, followed by judging, live pitches, and an award ceremony. More than €10,000 in prizes are planned across cash, hardware, and additional rewards, with the exact prize packages still to be announced.
