About this hackathon
A season-long robot-manipulation challenge from the OpenAtom Foundation's OpenLET embodied-AI data community, co-run by Leju Robotics and Ant Group's Robbyant and hosted on Alibaba Tianchi. Post-train the open Lingbot-VLA 2.0 or KUAVO-VLA models on three factory tasks (sorting parts and flipping a lever, two-arm box carrying, small-part loading). The winter round is simulation only (Sep 29–Dec 31); spring adds real-robot evaluation, and the 2026–27 real-robot final runs May 24–28, 2027. Teams of 1–5; enrolment stays open all season.
