Hackathons

May 2026

IBM Bobathon 2026

alethia.mvps.ch ↗

IBM Switzerland

IBM Switzerland runs the Bobathon as an internal innovation hackathon bringing together employees, students, and collaborators to build real solutions under time pressure. We took first place out of all participating groups.

  • ∗Built *Alethia* — an AI-powered patient intake and appointment booking platform for healthcare providers
  • ∗Designed the full product end-to-end: from user flow and interface to backend and deployment
  • ∗Live demo running at alethia.mvps.ch — accessible via the Book Appointment button at /health-center-zurich

ETHRC HACK2026

GitHub ↗

ETH Robotics Club

ETH Robotics Club is a student association at ETH Zurich organizing HACK2026 — Europe's largest robotics hackathon. Selected out of 500 applications (48 accepted) without any prior robotics experience.

  • ∗Built a web-based fleet dashboard on top of the open-source DimOS framework enabling multi-robot orchestration across Unitree Go2, G1, and B2 units
  • ∗Layered YOLO detection and VLM semantic anchoring onto SLAM maps
  • ∗Extended the fleet with an MCP server so agents can command robots in natural language
  • ∗Enables fleet control, real-time issue monitoring, and straightforward deployment for non-technical users

Agentic Hack 2026

GitHub ↗

ETH Agentic Systems Lab · Google Zurich

ETH's Agentic Systems Lab researches the intersection of agentic AI and autonomous physical systems. 8-hour hackathon hosted at Google Zurich with partners Google DeepMind, Founderful, and Vercel — bridging agentic software and physical robotics.

  • ∗Built a ZeroMQ-based interface layer for the Unitree Go2 quadruped, sitting between the Unitree SDK and any number of clients
  • ∗Exposed a clean JSON protocol for actions, movement, and live camera streaming
  • ∗FastAPI web app for keyboard and touch control, a CLI client, and an MCP server
  • ∗Lets agents like Claude Desktop and Claude Code drive the robot directly as callable tools

Circle

circle.zero.swiss ↗

zero.swiss

Personal autonomous assistant built for solo founders and early-stage startups — one that learns your context, acts without being asked, and proactively engages across your tools. Connects 20+ services — Gmail, Notion, Airtable, WordPress, Dropbox, and more — through a single assistant that handles routine ops on autopilot and reports back via WhatsApp.

  • ∗Handles emails, blog posts, bug fixes, and recurring tasks autonomously — no manual triggers
  • ∗Configurable tone and personality so the assistant speaks in the founder's voice
  • ∗Single integration layer across 20+ tools with no per-tool setup overhead
