Embodied AI Hackathon

This event is over! Congratulations to all winners and runner-ups! Check out the recap video below:

Build Transformers and Diffusers Powered Robots with LeRobot

​Hugging Face's LeRobot open-source framework, combined with NVIDIA AI and robotics technology, enables researchers and developers to drive advancements in AI robotics.

Welcome to our weekend hackathon at Circuit Launch in Mountain View!

Event Overview

Explore SO-ARM100 robot arm with LeRobot platform

• ​Explore imitation learning with the open-source SO-ARM100 robotics arm kit
• ​Utilize Hugging Face's LeRobot framework for advanced AI architectures like ACT and Diffusion Policy

Teach robot arm for dedicated actions/thinking logic to decide how to solve problems in real-world

🦾 Get hands-on !

• ​Work with the SO-ARM100, the powerful 6DoF robotics arm designed for quick assembly, synchronized teaching tasks, and seamless integration with Hugging Face's LeRobot platform.
• ​Collecting data through teleoperation and simulation in NVIDIA Issac Lab.
• ​Train robot policies with imitation learning and develop validated policies on real-world robots powered by NVIDIA Jetson for real-time inference.

​Check out the previous hackathon in Shenzhen - so much fun! 🦄
