About the challenge:
If you've never heard of LeRobot, it's a robotics branch of the open source platform Huggingface. We are partnering with them to build a hackathon in Los Angeles focused on Robot learning and training robotics models.
🚀 Join the Los Angeles branch of the LeRobot Worldwide Hackathon - AI Robotics Global Challenge! 🌍 Are you ready to discover robotics with AI? 🌟 Join us for a global hackathon to learn, train, and solve real-world problems using open-source tech!
💡 What's it?
We live a wild time! The ChatGPT moment of robotics could be just a few milestones away! Come help us make our future more open and accessible to all.
Dates:
June 14th-15th. 9AM SATURDAY - 8 PM SATURDAY 9 AM SUNDAY - 6 PM SUNDAY
We are inviting participants to work all night if they want to stay!

Requirements
What to Build:
You'll get the chance to use imitation learning to train robotics models to do any task you can imagine. You can also work on any part of the pipeline like data augmentation, simulation, or hardware modifications! We will have many different robots ranging from humanoids to bimanual mobile maipulators, to simple SO-100s and hardware support.
What to Submit
You'll submit a video of your project and compete to be the best in the world!
The tracks:
- Imitation learning (real world & simulation): GPU (local or remote), robot or robot -free
- Reinforcement learning (real world & simulation): GPU (NVIDIA local only), robot or robot-free
- Create and integrate a new/existing robot/teleoperator to LeRobot: GPU-free, robot
- Hardware improvements: GPU-free, robot
- Dataset tools improvements: GPU-free, robot or robot -free
