Physical AI: Intelligence Beyond the Cloud
Build AI systems that run completely offline on a separate physical device. Use Raspberry Pi, ESP32, Arduino-compatible boards, or other embedded hardware to create intelligent systems that interact with the real world through sensors, cameras, motors, and other components.
What can you build?
- Offline AI devices that sense and respond to their surroundings.
- Smart systems using cameras, sensors, or embedded hardware.
- TinyML applications running on resource-constrained devices.
Challenge Requirements
- AI inference must run locally on the device, without internet or hosted AI APIs.
- Use an open-source or open-weight model meaningfully.
- Submit a public GitHub repository with an open-source license and demonstrate a working prototype.
