In Beijing, 200 young developers across 50 teams are taking on a 48-hour challenge: bringing AI out of digital screens and into the physical world.

This is no ordinary programming contest, but an intensive innovation sprint to give AI a tangible "body." Participants must develop programs and applications within the time limit, transforming creative ideas into functional product prototypes.

The event features two core tracks: Physical AI and AI Agents. The first covers technologies that enable AI to perceive and interact with the physical world, including embodied intelligence, companion robots, and smart wearables. The second focuses on using large language model-powered agents to directly control robots in performing tasks such as grasping, manipulation, and interaction. Over two full days and nights, contestants will transform their ideas into working prototypes capable of moving, grasping objects, and holding conversations.

More valuable than the prize money is the post-event incubation program. Winning teams will receive one-on-one investor matchmaking, co-branded PR exposure, dedicated computing resources, and access to robotic arms, providing continued support to help move their projects from demonstration to real-world deployment.
