«Hack Apertus» - Challenge info session: ZHAW

​ZHAW - See It, Say It, Pick It

​Hoi and welcome to "Hack Apertus"!

​Join us for a live introduction to one of the "Hack Apertus" challenges, brought by ZHAW – Zurich University of Applied Sciences, School of Engineering.

​Industrial robots are great at repeating fixed programs, but struggle the moment a task changes. This challenge is about building a zero-shot pipeline that turns an image and a text instruction into a real robot action, combining an open vision model with Apertus — no training needed.

​In this session:

• ​a walkthrough of the challenge and setup,

• ​what a strong submission looks like

• ​and a live Q&A with the challenge provider.

​Speaker:
Fatemeh Mohammadi Amin, PhD (ZHAW – School of Engineering)
