Announcing the Cyberwave Builders Program: Build Physical AI That Actually Moves
Today, we’re launching the first cohort of the Cyberwave Builders Program — a builder-first initiative designed to push the limits of what physical AI can do.
This program is for developers who don’t just want to build demos or simulations.
It’s for builders who want their code to move real things in the real world — robots, systems, and physical agents that sense, reason, and act.
Why We’re Doing This
At Cyberwave, we’re changing how physical AI gets built and shipped.
We believe shipping physical agents should be as easy as shipping software agents. With Cyberwave, developers can create digital twins of robots, test in simulation, train models, and deploy autonomous behaviors; all from a single platform.
What used to take days of setup, wiring, and hardware configuration now takes minutes.
The Builders Program is our way of putting this power directly in the hands of developers.
What Is the Cyberwave Builders Program?
The Cyberwave Builders Program is a 4-week cohort where selected developers build an end-to-end physical automation using Cyberwave.
You focus on what you do best: building and shipping.
Cyberwave takes care of the rest: robotic hardware, integrations, tooling, and complexity.
Every accepted builder receives:
- Free custom robotic hardware
- Early access to Cyberwave SDK features
- Hands-on support from the Cyberwave team
Our goal is simple:
By the end of 4 weeks, every builder ships a working physical AI use case.
This program lays the foundation for a growing ecosystem of real-world physical automations built on Cyberwave.
What Builders Get
Beyond the physical automation you’ll ship, being a Cyberwave Builder comes with real perks.
-
Cyberwave Credits: Free credits to build, test, and iterate across Cyberwave workflows — no paywalls while you’re building.
-
Early Access: Access experimental SDK features and upcoming releases before they’re publicly available.
-
Hardware Access: Get supported robotic hardware like SO101 robot arms and UGV beast rover to build and test real-world physical automations.
-
Visibility & Network: Your work gets featured across Cyberwave channels with an exclusive Builder badge. You’ll also get direct access to the Cyberwave ecosystem, team, and collaborators.
-
Cyberwave Swag: Cohort-exclusive swag for every accepted builder.
-
Certification: Every builder who completes the cohort receives a Certificate of Completion — Physical AI Builders Program.
How the 4-Week Cohort Works
We’ve designed the cohort to fit naturally into a builder’s life.
There are no rigid schedules or time-boxed sessions. Builders can work whenever they’re free. The only thing that matters is shipping.
The end goal is clear:
Build and ship your physical automation within 4 weeks.
What to Expect in the Cohort
01 — Onboard
- SDK setup
- Hardware onboarding
- Ship your first automation
02 — Build
- Choose a real physical AI use case
- Weekly office hours
- Iterative development
03 — Break & Improve
- Stress-test systems
- Product and feedback tasks
- Identify SDK gaps and improvements
04 — Ship & Showcase
- Demo video + repository
- Builder showcases
- Top builders announced
This workflow mirrors how real physical AI products are built in the real world.
Top Builder Rewards
Throughout the cohort, builders earn points based on participation and shipped outcomes; with shipping a real physical automation being the most important milestone.
Top builders will receive:
- Cash prizes
- Live demo showcases to the Cyberwave network
- Increased visibility and opportunity across the ecosystem
Our goal is to ensure builders get real leverage from this program — not just learning, but visibility, momentum, and career opportunities.
How to Apply
We’ve kept the application process intentionally simple.
No long forms. No resumes. No cover letters.
We just want to see what you’ve built and what you’re excited to ship next.
Application Process (3 Steps)
01 — Join Our Discord
This is where the Builders cohort lives. All coordination, discussions, support, and progress sharing will happen here.
02 — Apply via Typeform
Fill out a short Typeform application.
Just share your past work (GitHub, demos, projects) and what you’d like to build with Cyberwave.
03 — Introduce Yourself
Post an introduction in the #apply-builders-program channel.
Share what you’ve built, what excites you about physical AI, and start networking with fellow builders.
Community is the most important part of this program.
We want builders helping each other, learning together, and shipping together.
How the Cyberwave Team Supports You
We’ve got you covered throughout the cohort.
The Cyberwave team will be hands-on and highly accessible, primarily through Discord. If you get stuck, have a question, or want feedback — just reach out.
Here’s how we support builders:
- Active Discord support from the Cyberwave product and engineering team
- Weekly office hours for technical guidance and design discussions
- Networking sessions and mixers to connect builders across the cohort
- Direct feedback loops on SDK usage, product gaps, and ideas
Our goal is simple:
You should spend your time building, not debugging infrastructure or figuring things out alone.
If you’re stuck, we help you unblock fast.
Ready to Build Physical AI?
If you’ve ever wanted to build AI that goes beyond screens and simulations — this is your chance.
The Cyberwave Builders Program is for developers who want to:
- Build real physical automations
- Work with actual robotic hardware
- Ship end-to-end physical AI use cases
- Be part of a growing community pushing the boundaries of physical AI
You bring the curiosity and the code.
We’ll bring the hardware, platform, and support.
