Robots Against Humanity - Furhat hackathon

The age of autonomous machines is upon us.. the only solution for humankind survival is for us to better understand these machines. We have managed to acquire a few prototype units and will study them rigorously during Robots Against Humanity hackathon. 

Join us on the 25th/26th of this month at Futurice Helsinki where we will pool our resources and bend these machines to our will! Participants from all backgrounds are invited to join. All registrations are individual. We will have plenty of time for teamup on Friday afternoon. A quote from the Furhat team: “We believe that the perfect skill development team should include more than just developers - graphics/interaction/experience designers, linguists, storytellers, even psychologists”

More information about the robots can be found here: https://www.furhatrobotics.com/

The SDK can be downloaded from the following site and we ask you to have in installed beforehand so we can get right into business once the event starts. http://eepurl.com/dmlarL

Your intellect is vital for the survival of the human race. We are counting on you..
