Build real robotics and Physical AI prototypes at a 48-hour hackathon taking place at CIC Berlin on 21–22 November 2026, with prizes worth €10,000+. Build the future of robotics HackLab x BRISA brings builders from across Europe to Berlin for an intensive, in-person weekend focused on solving real challenges from robotics companies. Rather than simply debating what AGI or humanoid robots might look like in 2030, participants will form teams, work with actual hardware and ship working prototypes that demonstrate what Physical AI can achieve today. The event is designed for builders, engineers, startup founders and researchers who want practical experience at the intersection of robotics and artificial intelligence. It offers a collaborative environment in which participants can meet other technical talent, engage with industry leaders and showcase their work to the wider robotics ecosystem. Participants may also discover job and internship opportunities with companies working in the field. What to expect The hackathon combines focused building time with team collaboration, networking, judging and live pitches. Technology partners will provide participants with free credits throughout the event, helping teams experiment and build without being constrained by usage costs. The programme includes: - Registration and breakfast from 09:00 on Saturday - An opening ceremony before hacking begins at 11:00 - Lunch and dinner, followed by overnight hacking - Breakfast and lunch on Sunday - A final submission deadline at 17:45 on Sunday - Judging at 18:00, followed by live pitches and the award ceremony at 19:00 Teams will compete for more than €10,000 in prizes, including cash, hardware and other rewards.
