The Physical AI Sprint Hackathon

🌟 Get warmed up for Actuate the best way possible—by building!
Join Nebius, NVIDIA, Antioch, and Toloka for a day of workshops, rapid experimentation, and building at the intersection of AI and the physical world.

What to Expect:

• 🤖 Robotics workshops
• 🏆 A focused physical AI challenge
• 🛠️ Access to tools, infrastructure, and technical support
• 📊 Project demos and judging
• 🎁 Prizes for the strongest submissions

The Challenge: The Perception-Reasoning-Action Loop

Modern AI excels at generating text and pixels, but Physical AI requires closing the loop between the digital mind and the physical embodiment. Participants will build solutions that seamlessly integrate three core pillars:

1. Perception (Sense): Ingesting and interpreting multi-modal sensor data to build a real-time understanding of the physical surroundings.
2. Reasoning (Think): Leveraging advanced models and decision-making frameworks to analyze constraints and adapt to real-world changes.
3. Action (Act): Translating cognitive plans into precise physical outputs, including robotic manipulation and autonomous navigation.

What to Bring:

• 💻 Your laptop and charger
• 🛠️ Any other tools you rely on for a full day of building

Who Should Attend:

This event is designed for:

• Robotics engineers
• Machine learning engineers
• Computer vision engineers
• Research engineers and applied scientists
• Data and infrastructure engineers working with robotics or physical AI
• Technical founders and builders exploring embodied intelligence

You don’t need to arrive with a team; we’ll help participants connect and form teams before and at the event.

Important Notes:

• 🚪 Space is limited, and all attendees must apply and be approved to attend.
• 🛠️ This is a hands-on technical event. Participants should be comfortable writing code and building independently or as part of a small team.
• Please register individually, even if you plan to attend with a team.
