About the Series

Build real
robots that
learn.

The Physical AI Hackathon World Tour brings the open-source robotics and physical AI community together for 48-hour build sprints — city by city, around the world.

Each event is organized by MakerMods, the team behind the open-source modular robotics stack. We bring the hardware. We bring the framework. You bring the ideas.

We partner with world class organizations at every stop — keeping each event connected to the city's best builders and operators.

No prior robotics experience required. If you can code, you can build.
