Himalaya Robotics Hack

🏔️ Himalaya Robotics Hack August 29–30, 2026 · San Francisco Over two days, teams will tackle the real engineering problems of extreme-conditions robotics: onboard inference that runs without a cloud connection, locomotion that holds on ice and mixed terrain, hardware that survives -20°C and 200 km/h winds, communications, and the overall robot intelligence stack. This is not just a demo weekend. You'll be working with the actual tech built for real-world deployment, with the use case here being the Himalaya. 🏆 Prizes Winning team flown out for a Himalayan field expeditionRobotic armsCash prizesCredits ⚙️ What You're Building For Onboard autonomy · inference on Jetson Thor, no cloudExtreme-condition locomotion · footing on ice and mixed terrainHardware resilience · at altitude and in the death zoneSatellite communication · telemetry that never drops 👥 Who Should Come Robotics engineers, ML researchers, embedded systems builders, hardware hackers. Anyone who wants their work to end up on a mountain. Brought to you by Iterate & Robot Everest
