Back to the event
On April 25–26, 2024, the ACROBA Hackathon brought together students from diverse academic fields at BIBA, University of Bremen. Working in interdisciplinary teams, participants designed innovative solutions to enhance human-robot interaction using robot and localization system data. Their projects focused on creating flexible, intuitive, and safe interactions, such as enabling position-independent hand-to-hand object transfers. The event, held in collaboration with the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Bremen-Oldenburg, showcased the potential of collaborative innovation within the ACROBA project framework.
