Hosted by HackLab

Build and ship a working Physical AI prototype at HackLab’s intensive 48-hour Robotics x AI Hackathon, held at CIC Berlin on 14–15 November 2026. Designed for people who want to move beyond discussing the future of robotics and start creating it, HackLab 2 brings builders together for two focused days of development, hardware training and experimentation. Participants will form teams, develop innovative robotics and AI projects, and turn ambitious ideas into real prototypes before presenting their work live. Who should attend? The hackathon is aimed at builders, engineers, startup founders and researchers working in or exploring robotics and AI. It is particularly relevant to technically minded participants who want practical experience with Physical AI, opportunities to meet potential collaborators, and direct exposure to others building at the frontier of intelligent hardware. The organisers highlight several reasons to take part: - Collaborate with robotics and AI talent and industry leaders - Build and showcase a cutting-edge robotics solution - Compete for more than €10,000 in cash, hardware and other prizes - Explore potential job and internship opportunities - Receive free credits from participating technology providers for use during the hackathon - Meet founders, researchers and engineers shaping the future of robotics Partners, co-hosts, technology providers and the precise prize categories are still to be announced. Updates will be shared through HackLab’s LinkedIn page. Hackathon schedule The in-person programme takes place at CIC Berlin, Lohmühlenstraße 65, in Berlin. Saturday, 14 November begins with doors, registration and breakfast at 09:00, followed by the opening ceremony at 09:30. Hacking starts at 11:00, with lunch at 13:00 and dinner at 19:00.

ICSTRA brings researchers and professionals in smart technologies, robotics and automation to Hanoi and online on 26–27 February 2027 to share new work. Organised by Researchworld, the International Conference on Smart Technologies, Robotics & Automation (ICSTRA) is designed as a meeting point for participants from around the world. Its central aim is to support the exchange of ideas and experience while contributing to the knowledge base across these fast-moving scientific fields. The conference takes place in Hanoi, Vietnam, with both on-location and virtual participation options. This hybrid structure gives local and travelling delegates access to face-to-face discussion while allowing international contributors to attend remotely. What to expect The on-location programme combines formal presentations with opportunities to meet fellow delegates. The published schedule includes: - Registration with tea and coffee from 9:00am - An inaugural speech and conference theme presentation - Poster and physical presentations - A virtual presentation session - Lunch, followed by an award function and closing ceremony In-person attendees can also expect direct networking, physical conference materials, live Q&A sessions and complimentary refreshments. The virtual format includes online check-in and orientation, an interactive platform, chat features, recorded sessions, digital resources and instructions for receiving a digital certificate. Who should attend? ICSTRA is relevant to researchers and professionals working in robotics, automation and smart technologies, particularly those looking to present research, discover work from international peers or develop new academic and commercial connections. The organisers position the conference as a place to establish research or business relationships and identify international links that may lead to future career collaborations. Researchers intending to contribute should note that the listed paper submission deadline is 30 January 2027. The conference begins on 26 February and concludes on 27 February 2027.… Register for this event
