Warsaw Global Robotics Hackathon

​Winter Robotics Hackathon: Real World Deployment, No More Simulation

​On Jan 23-25, GenR and Lute are hosting the first of its kind hands-on weekend hackathon in Lute's Warsaw office. You will focus on real-world manipulation, deployment, and evaluation tasks, working with leading robotic platforms.

​A) LeRobot Arms Track
Hands-on work with LeRobot-compatible arms, focusing on manipulation, deployment, and data-driven improvement.
Details & exact setup: TBA

​B) Exoskeleton Track (with MAB)
Exoskeleton-focused challenge developed together with MAB.
Final proposal and scope: TBA

​C) YAM Arms Challenge
A production-style manipulation challenge with shared infrastructure:

• ​Centralized compute node (1× B200-class node) shared via Slurm

• ​25–100 hours of high-quality manipulation data (LeRobot dataset format)

• ​Fixed multi-camera setup (24/7 capture) to standardize the environment

• ​Deployment scripts for consistent evaluation
  Exact task definition and metrics: TBA

​Partners & Community

​University robotics clubs across Europe have been invited. Industry partners are involved in defining realistic constraints and evaluation criteria.

​Who Should Join

• ​Robotics students and researchers (manipulation, control, learning)

• ​Teams interested in deployment, not just demos

• ​Participants who want to work with real data, real constraints, and real evaluation

​Prizes:

1. ​GoPro Max 2

2. ​Two Lerobot SO101 arms

3. ​2xDAMIAO DM-J4310 motors

4. ​Special audience price

​Judges: TBA

​Logistics:

​Participants will be provided with 300 m2 of space to work and camp. Food and drinks will be provided throughout the weekend. Travel grants might be available upon request.
