About the Event

Embodied AI is intelligence that climbs out of the screen, and this hackathon is for the founders, developers, and mad scientists who are giving it a body.

Taking place across three days in a whirring Mission factory loft, every team gets a robot to hack with, hands-on task-training support, and a mandate to ship something that makes a dent in reality, all by Sunday.

Spots are limited and curated. Apply now.

When & Where Friday

Friday, Jul 17 - Sunday, Jul 19, The Mission, San Francisco

Fri 17 – Kickoff + bootcamp

Sat 18 – Full hack day

Sun 19 – Demos + judging

What You'll Make

Whatever you can wire a mind to do inside plastic and metal. A robot that sorts, pours, folds, fetches, or something we've never seen before.

One catch: you need to train the robot to do something surprising, and build software that harnesses its new talent.

Your Hosts

Mission Robotics – The beating heart of robotics in the Mission.

Savant – We help top founders explore & build new Physical AI companies through a hardware lab space, a powerful network of peers and funding.

North Star – The Egocentric, UMI, tactile, and multimodal data for Physical AI.

New Theory – The world model lab bringing the experts and the stack.

Sponsors

Modal – compute and inference for every team.
