SUMMARY:Hackathon on AI-driven Robotics and Automation 2026
LOCATION:SRM Institute of Science and Technology Kattankulathur Campus\, Ch
 ennai
DESCRIPTION:<p>### Event Description<br /><br />\nThe **Department of Compu
 ting Technologies\, SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST)\, Kat
 tankulathur**\, in collaboration with the **ACM-W Student Chapter\, Adhipa
 rasakthi Engineering College\, Melmaruvathur**\, is organizing a **Hackath
 on on AI-Driven Robotics and Automation** on **13–14 October 2026**.<br 
 /><br />\nThe hackathon provides an exciting platform for students to expl
 ore and develop innovative solutions in **Artificial Intelligence\, Roboti
 cs\, Automation\, and Autonomous Navigation**. Participants will work in t
 eams to design\, build\, program\, and demonstrate intelligent robotic sys
 tems that address real-world challenges.<br /><br />\nEach team will be pr
 ovided with a robotics kit comprising an **Arduino Uno\, IR sensors\, ultr
 asonic sensor\, motors\, wheels\, motor driver\, chassis\, caster wheel\, 
 batteries\, and jumper wires**\, enabling participants to transform their 
 ideas into functional robotic prototypes.<br /><br />\nWith a **three-memb
 er team format** and **at least one female participant in every team**\, t
 he event encourages collaborative learning\, innovation\, and greater part
 icipation of women in emerging technologies. The hackathon is open to stud
 ents from **SRMIST and other colleges**\, providing an opportunity to lear
 n\, compete\, network\, and showcase their technical creativity.<br /><br 
 />\nWith a **prize pool of ₹10\,000**\, participants will experience an 
 intensive hands-on journey of **ideation\, robotic development\, problem-s
 olving\, and innovation**\, making this hackathon an ideal platform for as
 piring AI and robotics enthusiasts.</p>
