The 'Learning Robot Learning' hackathon is set to take place in Zurich, targeting engineers and computer scientists who want hands-on experience in robotics but lack the hardware.
Key details:
- Hardware: Thanks to the Pollefeys lab, over a dozen SO-100 arms will be available, alongside TRLC-DK1/YAM arms for experienced users.
- Compute: Four 5090 GPUs are provided for inference on-site. Attendees need to bring their own laptops and expect to spend <$50 on compute for training models.
- Format: Open hacking with no prizes or judging pressure, focusing purely on learning and community building.
