Beyond AGI, intelligence needs a body.

The last generation's frontier was the free flow of information. Our generation's new mission is bringing AI into the physical world.

AI shouldn't just live behind screens answering questions.

It must perceive, reason, and act-creating real-world interactions with people, spaces, devices, and human bodies.

August 2026, Hong Kong Science Park

You have 48 hours to build a physical AI prototype that can be seen, touched, and tested.

If you believe AI's next destination is the real world —

Step up. Show up. Build it here.

Bring AI to Life.

THREE
TRACKS

THE GOLDEN RULE:
YOUR DEMO MUST "MOVE"

The Ultimate Law of the Hackathon:

NO pure slide decks.

NO basic chatbots.

NO standard data dashboards.

Every single project must deliver the ultimate trifecta:

Physical Touchpoint

+ AI Reasoning

+ Observable Physical Change

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Zero Major Restrictions.
Zero Background Barriers.

In the era of vibe coding and ubiquitous AI tools, the power to create is no longer the exclusive privilege of traditional software engineers.

If you can take a wild idea and rapidly hack it into a functioning prototype — or if you have the grit to stand side-by-side with your teammates for 48 hours to turn "impossible" into "possible" — then you are exactly who we are looking for.

We are actively recruiting innovators with backgrounds, interests, or expertise in the following domains:

THE FULL-STACK
HARDWARE ENGINEERS

(SOFTWARE + HARDWARE)

The Systems Integrators & Field Debuggers

Systems Orchestration: Expert at stitching together AI models, physical sensors, and robotics SDKs into cohesive, real-time architectures.
The Core Tech Stack: Highly proficient in Python, C++, ROS2, Computer Vision (CV), and VLMs.
Battle-Tested Makers: Possess true hands-on hardware grit. Excel at rapid prototyping, soldering, wiring, and — most importantly — on-site, under-pressure debugging when the demo needs to work on the fly.

AGENT ARCHITECTS

(LLM + ACTION)

Autonomy & Planning: Deeply familiar with LLM Agents, tool-use/function calling, and complex task planning/decomposition algorithms.
Safety & Control: Understand the critical safety boundaries of physical robotics. Know how to translate unpredictable natural language into deterministic, safe, and controlled machine actions.
Product-Minded Engineering: Built for experiences, not just scripts. Possess the product intuition to wrap complex hardware (like a multi-axis robotic arm) into a seamless, intuitive, and magical user interaction.

MULTIMODAL + AGENT INTEGRATION ENGINEERS

Core Logic & Orchestration: Proficient in Python, LLM Tool Calling, MCP (Model Context Protocol), and advanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) frameworks.
Full-Stack Agility: The ultimate tech chameleon—capable of hacking across React Native, Python backends, and flashing code directly onto Linux dev boards.
AI Security Guardians: Built to survive the real world, not just to pass a demo. Armed with a solid grasp of edge security baselines, including least-privilege access, sandboxing, and jailbreak mitigation.

PRODUCT &
EXPERIENCE VISIONARIES

Product Managers (PMs): To define the problem, align the team, and keep the project laser-focused on market value.
UI/UX & Product Designers: To design how humans interact with physical intelligence, from wearable interfaces to smart spaces.
Storytellers & Presenters: To craft the final pitch deck and deliver a breathtaking live demo to the judges and VCs.

If you are a young creator who dares to think big and act fast, this arena belongs to you.

IN THE AGE OF AI DEMOCRATIZATION,
ALL YOU NEED IS GRIT.
