Robotic Agents Hackathon Milan: Build with Real Robots on June 20

100+ devs built physical AI in SF; now it's Europe's turn with real hardware.

Deep Dive

The Robotic Agents Hackathon, previously held in San Francisco with over 100 attendees, is expanding to Europe with a Milan edition on June 20, 2026. The full-day event focuses on building robotic agents and physical AI applications using real robotic hardware, simulations, SDKs, and agent workflows. Participants will collaborate, demo their projects live, and compete for robotic hardware and builder rewards. The hackathon specifically welcomes contributors from the ROS (Robot Operating System) and open robotics ecosystem.

This hands-on event allows developers, students, roboticists, and AI engineers to experiment with cutting-edge robotics technology in a collaborative environment. By providing direct access to hardware and agent frameworks, the hackathon aims to accelerate innovation in physical AI. The first San Francisco edition demonstrated strong community interest, and the Milan iteration seeks to tap into Europe's growing robotics talent pool. Registration is via Luma.
