HackA-BOT 2026 – “Where teams bring humanoid robots to life” – is the new robotics hackathon hosted by BEST Erlangen e.V., fully dedicated to the challenges and possibilities of humanoid robots.

The event will take place on 23–24 January 2026 at the modern D.hip Innovation Lab on the Siemens Campus Erlangen, organised in collaboration with Siemens Healthineers.

Over the course of 48 intense hours, interdisciplinary teams will tackle real-world tasks related to humanoid robotics—from control and perception to interaction and system intelligence. These challenges mirror what industry and research are actively working on today.

A hackathon is more than a competition: it is a fast-paced innovation lab. Participants brainstorm, iterate, build prototypes, and test ideas continuously. They gain access to mentors, workshops, and cutting-edge tools that support both software and hardware development.

At BEST, we strongly believe in the impact of hackathons: they ignite innovation, strengthen teamwork, and empower students to turn ambitious ideas into tangible solutions. HackA-BOT gives students the opportunity to showcase their skills, learn new technologies, and contribute to solving meaningful, real-world problems.

All teams will present their final prototypes to a jury. Beyond prizes and recognition, participants walk away with hands-on experience, new skills, and industry-relevant connections.

The event is open to motivated students from all study backgrounds who want to challenge themselves, learn fast, and spend an intensive weekend building real robotic solutions.
