Dimensional Hackathon Shanghai
📅 May 26–28, 2026 · Alibaba T1, Shanghai ⏱ 48 hours · 🐾 10+ Unitree Go2s · 🛠 Built on DimOS
Every team gets a Unitree Go2 preloaded with DimOS - our open-source, Python-native robotics OS. Full SDK access: navigation, perception, memory, and an agent runtime that lets LLMs drive hardware. Write one Python file, deploy it to a robot, and watch it reason, move and act in real-time.

About Dimensional
DimOS is an open-source, agent-native robotics operating system.
🔗 github.com/dimensionalOS/dimos - GitHub Trending #3
Our team is from MIT, CMU, Cornell, DJI, Figure. Backed by leads at Apple Robotics, HuggingFace, Google X, Windsurf. Already shipping in hotels, data centers, construction sites, and industrial deployments.
───
What You're Building With
Hardware - Unitree Go2 with LiDAR, RGB camera, and IMU.
DimOS SDK
Blueprints + Modules - One Python file deploys across robotsPerception - YOLO detection, depth projection, point clouds, SLAMNavigation - Click-to-nav, waypoints, exploration, teleopAgent Runtime - Drop in GPT, Claude, Gemini LLM. The robot picks up skills on its own.Rerun Debugging - 3D scene replay, time travel, click-to-teleop
Stack - Python 3.10+ · LCM · Rerun · Dask · Docker · Linux
───
Tracks
🗺 Autonomy & Navigation
SLAM, exploration, autonomous delivery. Make the robot understand where it is and get where it needs to go - without a human in the loop.
Ideas: monocular RGB SLAM + nav · navigation eval tooling (relocalization + SLAM benchmarks) · ArUco-based self-charging · autonomous elevator entry
🤖 Agents
LLM/VLM-driven autonomy. The robot should plan, execute, fail, recover, and keep going.
Ideas: consumer companion · security patrol · warehouse inspection · shipping & receiving agent
🎨 Open / Creative
Doesn't fit the tracks above but runs on hardware? We want to see it.
