Embodied Metal Hackathon

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. Apply Today Prove there's more to intelligence than chatbots and approving random toolcalls. Space is very limited, so apply by registering.
