Physical AI Hackathon, hosted with X Square Robot: three days of hands-on building, with a dedicated robot kit for every team.
Robots are on us. We’ll have 8 kits on site. Build and deploy your model, and watch it come to life on a real robot. The X Square Robot team will be on hand to support anyone using WALL-OSS, their open-source robotics foundation model.
