AMD Open Robotics Hackathon Dec 2025: LeRobot on ROCm/MI300X in Tokyo and Paris

AI Impact Summary

AMD is running a two-city in-person robotics hackathon (Tokyo Dec 5-7; Paris Dec 12-14) showcasing the LeRobot development environment and AMD AI stack (ROCm, MI300X GPUs) via AMD Developer Cloud. Teams of up to four engineers will work over three days on two missions, with Linux, Python/containerization, PyTorch, and embedded development skills emphasized; hardware like SO-101 kits and Ryzen AI laptops will be provided. For business value, sponsors and participants gain opportunities for early ecosystem adoption, direct access to a pool of robotics talent, and potential pilots or deployments of LeRobot-based solutions on AMD hardware.
