Name: Global AI Robotics Challenge [June 14-15]
Start: 2025-06-14T15:00:00.000Z
Location: Venture X Denver North

We're hosting this **data collection & policy learning** event so everyone can get a head start on our **[Global AI Robotics Challenge on June 14th](https://www.meetup.com/brain-wave-collective/events/307845156/)**. You do not need to be joining the hackathon to come to this event.

Whether you're a veteran or new to data or robotics this event is for you.
Our goal is to collect high-quality robot demonstrations and transform them into effective policies through LeRobot's imitation learning pipeline.

We will use our robot to record a dataset, structure it according to LeRobot standards, and train a basic imitation learning policy.

Bring your laptop. Let's learn together.

 LET'S BUILD: Transferring Human Skills to Robots [May 22]

Venture X Denver North

In order to get a head start on our Global AI Robotics Challenge on June 14th we will explore **foundation models & multi-modal integration** into the cutting-edge intersection of vision, language, and action through LeRobot's foundation model ecosystem. You do not need to be joining the hackathon to come to this event.

We will look into creative ways to implement a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) natural language interface to enable control through conversational instructions.

A robot arm we can share will be available. Bring your laptop. Let's learn together.

LET'S BUILD: Multi-Modal Robot Control [May 27]

In preparation for our **[Global AI Robotics Challenge on June 14th](https://www.meetup.com/brain-wave-collective/events/307845156/)** we will **setup and calibrate our robotic arms**. This is not a requirement as you will also be able to build your robots on the day of the event, but for ambitious builders this is an opportunity to get a head start. You do not need to be joining the hackathon to come to this event.

LeRobot supports multiple arms. We will focus on the SO-101, but you can bring your own. Our goal will be to reach basic teleoperation.
In order to participate in this event you will need to have pre-ordered all of the parts and supplies for a LeRobot arm.

LET'S BUILD: LeRobot Arm Construction [June 4]

We're hosting this event to help attendees prepare for our **[Global AI Robotics Challenge on June 14th](https://www.meetup.com/brain-wave-collective/events/307845156/)**. You will need to **train in simulation and deploy your to your robotic arm**. You do not need to be joining the hackathon to come to this event.

No robot? No problem. Although we will focus on deployment, this event will still be helpful to understand fully simulated environments.

Bridge the gap between simulation and reality by learning how to test policies in LeRobot's simulation environments and deploy them effectively to physical hardware. We will walk through testing in simulated environments as well as deploying optimized models to physical robots.

Our goal will be to train a policy in simulation, adapt it for real-world conditions, and deploy it to a LeRobot arm and analyze performance.
Bring your laptop. Let's learn together.

LET'S BUILD: Deploying Robot Simulations [June 10]

The Brain Wave Collective is hosting the HuggingFace LeRobot Global AI Robotics Challenge at VentureX Denver North.

Whether you're an industry veteran or just curious about robotics we will have a place for you. All skill sets and backgrounds are welcome, from from AI/ML to Data to traditional technologists and those without technical capabilities.

We will have workshops during the event so you can show up unprepared and learn everything you need, or join one of our advance technical primer sessions to get a head start:

**May 22** - [Transferring Human Skills to Robots](https://www.meetup.com/brain-wave-collective/events/307842565/)
**May 27** - [Multi-Modal Robot Control](https://www.meetup.com/brain-wave-collective/events/307842582/)
**June 4** - [LeRobot Arm Construction](https://www.meetup.com/brain-wave-collective/events/307842598/)
**June 10** - [Deploying Robot Simulations](https://www.meetup.com/brain-wave-collective/events/307842634/)

[We will publish a schedule and keep up to date info on our event page](https://brainwavecollective.ai/events/lerobot-hackathon/location/denver).

Confirming your attendance with Meetup is optional, but appreciated, especially if you'd like to volunteer, sponsor, or mentor.

**IMPORTANT: [Competitors will need to sign up directly with Hugging Face before the event (click here)](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScxJr2RhW4BqHCu30qBQNRIelQ7Jmm_lSzUUAxBedAtRMVwAA/viewform)**
