SUMMARY:MakeCU 2026
DESCRIPTION:MakeCU is Columbia University’s premier hardware hackathon happening from November 7th to 8th this year. It’s a fast-paced\, weekend-long invention marathon where students from top-tier institutions (including Columbia\, NYU\, Harvard\, and Caltech) come together to build fully functional physical prototypes from scratch. Since starting two years ago\, the event has grown rapidly\, bringing together over 80 passionate student builders last year to create incredible physical projects\, from smart doorbells to autonomous\, room-scanning\, self-emptying trash cans. Packed into this high energy weekend are dedicated technical workshops hosted by industry leaders\, hands on events\, and career opportunities for hackers to network directly with corporate sponsors. The hackathon culminates in a project expo and judging period\, where teams compete to win massive track prizes.

SUMMARY:Lattice Semiconductor Physical AI Session
DESCRIPTION:Join Lattice Semiconductor for an interactive session on the challenges and solutions for building multi-sensor robotics and humanoid systems. Modern physical AI systems require real-time fusion of cameras\, radar\, lidar\, audio\, ToF\, IMU\, and RF sensors — but proprietary interfaces and driver complexity slow development to a crawl. This session shows how Lattice FPGAs serve as the low power\, production-ready sensor bridge at the heart of the NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge (HSB) architecture\, streaming multi-modal sensor data over Ethernet directly into GPU memory with deterministic\, ultra-low latency. The session also includes live demonstrations and interactions with ecosystem partners that can help scale your product into real world deployments. \n​Session Topics \n\nPhysical AI application needs\n​Sensor-to-compute aggregation\nHoloscan sensor bridge architecture\nActuation and motor control\nLive demonstrations\n​Developer resources and follow-up opportunities\n\n\n​Who Should Attend \n​Developers\, engineers\, architects working on physical AI systems including industrial robotics\, humanoids\, AMRs\, healthcare and surgical robotics\, drones and other autonomous devices. \n​Presenters \n​Deepak Boppana\, Sr. Director Solutions & Ecosystem Marketing\, Lattice Semiconductor \n​Gevorg Sargsyan\, Founder and CEO\, Tauro Technologies \n​Space is limited. Apply to be considered for attendance. \n​Learn more about MassRobotics sponsors here.
