The AMD Open Robotics Hackathon, organized by AMD in collaboration with Hugging Face and Data Monsters, is an engaging event designed for students, hobbyists, startup founders, and seasoned engineers to demonstrate their robotics skills through a fast-paced, hands-on competition. Scheduled to take place in Tokyo from December 5-7, 2025, and in Paris from December 12-14, 2025, participants form teams of up to four to tackle two missions: an instructor-led session on setting up the LeRobot development environment using AMD AI solutions, and a two-day project to create an innovative solution to a real-world problem. Participants are encouraged to have strong Linux and Python skills, as well as machine learning proficiency, with hardware provided, including SO-101 robotics kits and AMD Ryzen AI processor-equipped laptops. Prizes will be awarded to the top seven teams in each city, with the first-place team receiving $10,000, based on the creativity, difficulty, ease-of-use, and practicality of their projects. Registration is open to individuals 18 years and older, with specific terms and conditions detailed on the hackathon website.
