About the Hackathon
"Smart Desktop Creation, Unlimited Innovation" Desktop Robot Application Development Challenge
Official WebsiteWith the rise of remote work and home studios, the desk is no longer just a place to work. It has become a space for creativity, productivity, and personal expression. What used to be a static “desktop setup” is evolving into a dynamic, interactive environment powered by intelligent devices.As AI meets IoT, a new category is emerging: desktop robots. These devices are no longer just tools. They are becoming productivity assistants, creative companions, and interactive partners that live on your desk.To explore what this future could look like, We andJLCPCBare launching a global hackathon themed“Smart Desktop Setup & AI Creation Challenge.”The goal is to bring together developers, makers, and innovators from around the world to experiment with the next generation of AI hardware.We invite creators who love technology to turn bold ideas into real, buildable smart hardware prototypes. Together, we hope to explore new forms of desktop devices that combine intelligence, personality, and real-world interaction.Partners:●Co-organizer:JLCPCB●Supporting organizations:Waveshare
