Builder Projects
Projects shipped by builders in the Cyberwave cohort program — a 4-week sprint where developers build real robots end-to-end with the Cyberwave SDK, edge core, and cloud workflows.
Jupyter Rover
UGV Beast
A collective learning catalog of 35 self-contained Jupyter notebooks for the UGV Beast — from camera calibration and AprilTag localization to YOLOv8 obstacle detection, autonomous patrol, a VLA pipeline, and self-building digital twins.
buildPARITY
Custom rover (Pi 5 + D500 Lidar)
Tiered autonomous monitoring for construction sites: a Raspberry Pi 5 with D500 Lidar handles safety-critical reflexes via ROS 2 + Nav2, while cloud VLA models drive mission-level decisions through Cyberwave Edge Core.
Hedon
Custom UGV
An emotionally reactive UGV that fuses camera, microphone, and biosignal streams into safe behavioral decisions, expressed as locomotion, head movement, and speech in real time. Runs entirely on a Raspberry Pi over ROS 2 and the Cyberwave SDK.
Napkin Folding with SO-101
Dual SO-101
A VLA-driven cloth manipulation system that automates napkin folding with dual SO-101 leader-follower arms. Teleop demonstrations are collected, cleaned, and used to train a SmolVLA policy for repeatable cloth handling.
Sandwich Bot
SO-101
Teleop demos teach a 450M-parameter SmolVLA model to make sandwiches autonomously from camera frames and language instructions. A mobile app turns it into a one-click remote action — the same primitive could feed pets or water plants from anywhere.
CareFlow
SO-101
A 6-DOF SO-101 arm enforces a two-phase safety loop on hospital wards: it QR-scans medicine boxes into patient bins, then only dispenses when the matching wristband is verified. The same pipeline runs in simulation and on real hardware.
Roamie
Principessa Robi (UGV Beast)
A UGV rover that watches over plants while their owner is away. Streams camera frames through the Cyberwave SDK, localises with ORB-SLAM3, and triggers a VLM-based Cyberwave AI workflow at each plant to assess its health.
Desky
SO-101
An SO-101 arm that identifies desk objects and places them where they belong. End-to-end stack covers hand-eye calibration, teleop and automated data collection, a flow-matching visuomotor policy, and real-world deployment.
Cyberwave Autoresearch
Autoresearch experiments for Physical AI: teleop trajectory generation, metric validation, and evaluation loops driven by both physics-based and VLM-based reward signals.
Hackathon Project Gallery
Projects built at the Robotic Agents Hackathon SF 2026 — San Francisco, CA, February 2026.

Alfred Robot Butler
A voice-powered personal care assistant to help users who lack fine motor skills or other disabilities.
John Kim, Juni Kim
Vanguard AI
Voice-controlled security robot: speak naturally to command a Unitree Go2 for patrol, surveillance and threat detection. Built with Smallest.ai STT, Together AI LLM, and Cyberwave SDK.
Inesh Reddy 4015
MA-NO
An AI-powered recycling robot that uses computer vision and a robotic arm to identify and sort plastic, aluminum, and paper automatically.
Marco Villalobos Eribes, Greg Patini, Yoshihiro Sekiya
Breacher
A robot that goes in first. It scans the room and tells your team in plain English exactly who’s inside and where before a single soldier steps through the door.
Jay Trivedi, Arin Thakkar, Akash K
RuffTerrain
Sends autonomous robots into active wildfires to find survivors using computer vision, streaming real-time data to a live dashboard so rescuers know where to go.
Charlie Aram, Sarah Rochelle Golden
MedRover
An autonomous rover that conducts multilingual patient intake, prioritises by severity, and hands doctors a clinical summary in English.
Varshini Balaji, LilChainyy Chen, William Wu +1 more
OpenROBOT
From prompt to physical action — an AI agent that controls robots.
Anastasiya Zhiboedova
Tough Love
A robot arm that gives you tough love. It watches your face in real time and responds physically: patting you when you’re down, slapping you back to focus when you’ve zoned out.
Adele Shen
MedAssist
Combines AI vision, rule-based verification, and robotics to detect medication errors and safely dispense the correct drug to the right patient.
Gayatri Patil, Aaryan Mahipal, Sagar Patel +1 more
EmotiArm
A robot arm that comforts when you’re sad, slaps when you’re distracted.
Terence La
Bookworm
Automates physical book digitisation using a robot arm, OCR, and TTS to produce clean LLM training data from printed text.
Atharva Walawalkar, Aditya Bangde, Vrishika Mohite +1 more
Babel
Speak your language, move the robot. BabelBot lets anyone command a Unitree Go2 in French, Hindi or German.
Cyriaque Barral, Manuel Fitz
Pill Guard
AI + robotics for medication adherence: a robot triggers a pill dispenser, checks if pills were taken, and alerts caregivers if a dose is missed.
Luxin Zhang, Crystal Ho, Victoria Zhao
TwinPilot
Turns plain-English instructions into executable robot actions inside a live digital twin, letting teams simulate and validate autonomous workflows.
Mihir Modi
Good Eye
A VLM agent that decides where to look before it acts — zero-shot foveated perception for embodied AI, replacing trained gaze policies with interpretable reasoning.
Sissi Wang
Safe Navigation using Control Barrier Function
A robotic system for safe removal of wood waste in cluttered environments, with control-theoretic safety guarantees using control barrier function-based navigation.
Joseph Moyalan, Rodolfo135, BerrydalMo +1 more
MedBot
An AI-powered robotic assistant that retrieves medications using voice commands, autonomous navigation, and vision verification to improve hospital efficiency.
Jenna Chan, Nikkita Seth, Venkat Ram
Hardcoded Control for Robotic Arm
Manipulates the robotic arm and avoids obstacles smoothly and successfully.
