2nd Hackathon

One hackathon, four robotics challenges!

Program focus

3 key objectives

Helping sectors to test and evaluate the potential of robotics

Assisting manufacturers in accelerating their market deployment

Supporting agricultural development to create and implement new practices based on robotics

VISION

Empowering the designer community to program faster and more efficiently

MISSION

In a limited time, your task is to:

Weed a field,

Avoid moving and stationary obstacles,

Pass through a shed,

Climb a slope to reach the finish line.

4 CHALLENGES

Precise agricultural tasks

Obstacle avoidance

Following a path in a sloping field

Indoor navigation

REGISTER NOW AND WIN THE HACKATHON

Every challenge deserves recognition for its participants:

  • 1st prize: €5,000
  • 2nd prize: €2,500
  • 3rd prize: €1,000

A final phase on an international stage FIRA 2025 is an incredible opportunity to bring together experts in agricultural robotics. What better place to invite the top three teams from the preliminary phase? For two days, teams will refine their strategies and code using the physical simulator provided by our partner 4D-Visualiz. The hackathon's progress and ambitions will be showcased at the Scientific Seminar on February 4, 2025, and the winners will be announced during the FIRA Awards.
