List of hackathons about robotics in 2016

VR techies! Sign up for the KCVR Hackathon! T Your goal is to create a virtual reality / augmented reality application that can benefit educators and students. Prizes will be awarded to the best presented solutions at the end of the hackathon!

Are you a techie at heart? Got an idea you want to prototype? This is for you! Betabox is coming to St. Louis to connect with you! Betabox is hosting a FREE, open to the public prototyping session and tour at the St. Louis Science Center. There will be experts on-site helping you learn about 3D printing, laser cutting, and how you might be able to use Betabox rapid prototyping labs that you can rent on-demand.

AI Developer? Crazy about bots? Sign up for VentureBeat's first ever international botathon, held as part of MobileBeat 2016. This AI-centric competition features top AI devs developing chatbot prototypes, and competing against fellow participants at simultaneous botathons taking place around the world - in the US, Canada and Australia. AI is improving - rapidly - and so are the quality and usability of bots; take part and create a prototype for the next big wave of this emerging AI tech.

Techies in the Toronto area, come join the fun at a HackerNest Tech Social. They're a fun, relaxed way to connect with your local tech brethren. Atmosphere: chill, friendly, unpretentious, agenda-free -- that means no sales pitches -- and brimming with UltraSmart(TM) people. HackerNest is an international nonprofit uniting local tech communities through unpretentious Tech Socials and hackathons.

Start-up entrepreneurs! Come and share your view of the future at the TechCrunch Shanghai Hackathon, a 24-hour intensive brainstorming event designed to bring out the best in Chinese tech innovation. The topic is "See the future" and the organizers expect to attract innovative start-ups that represent future trends like Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Industry 4.0. Participating start-ups will have a chance to rub shoulders with high-level VCs and angel investors and members of the media.

This robot hackathon wants to challenge you to develop an application in which a robot engages in meaningful interaction with humans or other robots. The event is open to all developers interested in applications that make use of social robots. There will be some robots on-hand but if you already own a robot, feel free to bring it!

This event is open to all UX designers, Full Stack Developers (all levels), UAV hobbyists, ROS experience a plus, Data Scientists, as well as to navy service members and the public. Your mission will be to broaden the Navy cyber community and include a broader community of source code programmers and developers. The Naval Postgraduate School set a world record last year for flying the largest swarm of drones ever controlled by a common code base. This control system is now coming to San Francisco for you to hack!

VR & drone enthusiasts! Come and participate in the tool.Up Workshop. Throughout the day you will experience lectures, brainstorming and workshops that will inspire and prepare you to collaborate and produce solutions such as VR technology, IoT solutions for everyday life, and the development of Drone solutions.

Hackers! If you have an idea how to make rail travel easier, better, more comfortable with digital applications, then sign up for DB Open Data Tech Hackday? You'll have access to some cool resources, including relayr Android app proto IoT, the Deutsche Bahn's open data portal, the OpenStreetMapper API and much more. Compete in a team and combine sensors and software and take your idea from concept to prototype--all in one day. There will be a range of prizes for winning prototypes. Win prizes for apps using data from the DB APIs, and for apps that use your mobile phone as a sensor kit to connect with Deutsche Bahn's train station clock.

This is a hackathon for teachers to learn and explore with technology, as well as network with other educators, makers, and industry representatives. You will explore computer science by designing and creating tech projects and discuss issues surrounding making and computer science, including curriculum design, software and equipment. The first day of the conference we will offer a guided exploration of several current topics in tech education, including coding, robotics, making, Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, MakeyMakeys, 3D printing, app development, wearable electronics, circuits, soldering, and basic woodworking. The second day of the conference we will put what you have learned into design and construct a tech project of your choosing. We will also have experts on hand to help you through the process!
