Atelier Physical AI Championship · London 2026
Build real-world AI that senses, thinks, and acts — in 10 hours.
A Physical AI sprint where teams build autonomous systems in real environments — using robotics, live sensor data, and browser-based AI agents. Watch a Petoi Bittle run the full perception → planning → manipulation → navigation loop below, then come build your own.
Live demo: an AI agent controlling a Petoi Bittle through perception → planning → manipulation → navigation.
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. Not slideware — working prototypes that operate in the physical world, built in a single day.
The 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
The Spatial Computing Track
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
Access to Physical AI talent and real working prototypes built in 12 hours. Not demos — operational systems in the physical world, alongside the people who build them.
