Summer Robotics by Robotics Nation
The Summer Robotics Challenge
What would you do if you had your own Embodied AI assistant for the whole summer?
3 months time
+1500€ in open source robotics hardware for YOU
7000€ prize pool
1-5 people teams
Your challenge is to create a minimum viable product using the versatile Xlerobot platform.
This could be a robotic service or a task that solves some issue in your house. Getting things from the fridge, picking or folding laundry, playing remotely with your cat, watering the plants while youre away. Removing 3d prints, cleaning bed and starting new ones remotely. Or maybe automating some simple but boring task in an industrial setting.
Anything that someone would be willing to pay money for (MVP).
We provide the full Xlerobot hardware including an OAK-D series depth camera, some teleoperation device and a jetson orin nano. Learn about XLerobot here: (https://xlerobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
Unlike your usual sleep deprived weekend crunch, this is your chance to take the time, go deep, tinker and build something youre proud of
Important dates:

Top candidates will get to demo their solutions at the Robotgames event happening on 30.10-1.11
