London Physical AI Challenge

Build real-world AI systems that sense, think, and act in 12 hours

Robotics • Sensor Networks • AI Agents • Spatial Intelligence
Live demo: AI agent controlling Petoi Bittle through perception → planning → manipulation → navigation loop.
Sense → Stream → Reason → Act

Robotics + Sensors → MQTT → AI Agents → Physical Action

What this is

A Physical AI sprint where teams build autonomous systems in real environments using robotics, live sensor data, and AI agents.

Physical AI Stack

  • Robotics: Petoi Bittle + AI camera + sensor extensions
  • Streaming: MQTT real-time sensor + robot event pipeline
  • Reasoning: Browser-based AI agents (Atelier)
  • Spatial: Gaussian splats → digital memory layer

Spatial Computing Track

Persistent World Intelligence for Physical AI

Build AI systems that understand, remember, and act within a spatially persistent digital twin of the real world.

  • 3D scene reconstruction (Gaussian splats / spatial maps)
  • Persistent spatial memory of environments
  • AI agents reasoning over physical space
  • Robot navigation grounded in spatial context

Core pipeline:
Reality Capture → Spatial Reconstruction → Memory → AI Reasoning → Robot Action

What teams build

  • Autonomous inspection robots
  • Multi-sensor anomaly detection systems
  • Spatial navigation agents
  • Real-world AI agents with memory

Why sponsors join
