We ran a hackathon with @ethroboticsclub and
@Siftedeu covered it.

As I may have said: "What's happened here in the past 12 months is fricking awesome"

Humanoid Robot Boxing at the ETH Robotics Club

REAL STEEL - HUMAN TELEOPERATED
FIRST ROBOT BOXING TOURNAMENT IN EUROPE

Thanks to our partners at @virtuals_io and @ZHAW for providing us with the robots for this epic showdown

[ETH Robotics Club @ethroboticsclub]

We are excited to announce @virtuals_io as a sponsor of HACK2026, the ETH Robotics Club’s premier robotics hackathon.

Virtuals Protocol are lending us two Unitree G1 humanoid robots for the hackathon and helping make the live robot boxing tournament possible with their hardware.

Throughout the hackathon, participants will also interact directly with the robots, building and experimenting with humanoid systems in ways most hackathon participants rarely get the chance to experience.

This is exactly the kind of support that allows us to push the boundaries of what a robotics hackathon can be.

Thanks to the team at @virtuals_io for making it possible.

More announcements soon.

Timelapse #32
(30 hours)

> Deployed TWIST2 full-body teleop to Unitree G1
> Adapted TWIST2 dataset into LeRobot format
> Fine-tuned @nvidia Gr00t N1.5 VLA on TWIST2 dataset using 4xH100 cluster (thx @LambdaAPI :) )
> Adapted TWIST2 repo to stream observations to VLA server and receive actions
> Improved inference latency (from 2000ms to ~200ms) by switching to ZMQ and moving inference from US-West to Europe
> Recorded some full-body teleop examples with @pham_blnh
> Secured cool sponsor (shoutout @dylabsai @s4movar) for Robotics Gathering at the @ethroboticsclub, invited more cracked researchers
> Demoed our work to the builders, ate pizza and won foosball tournament against Binh
