Loved hosting this one! Amazing what the teams built in just two days 🦾 Thanks @viamrobotics and @MongoDB, see you guys soon!

[Viam @viamrobotics]

Two days in San Francisco. Building, experimenting and putting code in motion.

📽️ Watch our video recap to see firsthand what teams built at our recent hackathon with @MongoDB.

Developers from all over the country and the world came together to build on @-Viam and MongoDB Atlas at the @RoboticsCtr. Teams worked with @UFACTORY_UF xArms, @seeedstudio SO-101s, and @DexmateAI's Vega robot, showing what’s possible when great hardware and software come together across different robotic form factors.

As the harness for physical AI, Viam provides the API abstraction layer that agents need to deploy models on robots of all kinds.

See what teams built.

“No way this is in the US.”

Yes, it is. San Francisco.

Humanoids. Robot arms. Quadrupeds. Dexterous hands.

Real hardware. One robotics hub.

Not a trade show. This is Robotics Center of Silicon Valley.

Dream-1 on real bimanual robots.

98 recorded runs.

Marker handovers: 4/6
Bottle uprighting: 7/10
Level plate lifts: 0/3

Same model. Very different outcomes across tasks.

Real-world evaluation reveals where robot intelligence still struggles.

[Viam @viamrobotics]

The Bay Area robotics community was out in force for our hackathon with @MongoDB at @RoboticsCtr!

Developers built real robotics applications using robot arms, Viam, and MongoDB Atlas. Bridging software, AI, data, and hardware, without building infrastructure from scratch.

Thank you to all who joined us.

0% success on L3 tasks in a recent Astra benchmark, including bottle-cap unscrewing.

Now RAX tackles jar opening with real dexterous hands.
6 chained skills. 4 twists. 140° rotation.

The jar opens.

LLM vs. WAM: Astra vs. Dream-1. Round 3.

Cup stacking. Same arms. Same task. Zero-shot.

A: 1:06
B: 0:41

Both finish. Which one is the LLM?

A or B? Defend your pick.

RAX Learns from Failure: 136s → 96s.

Real-robot exploration turns failed attempts into executable skills.

No model calls during execution.
