In April, Panthera-HT became the preferred choice for four hackathons and developer events. High Torque joined hands with top-tier institutions including Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Peking University and AttraX, covering East, South and North China, attracting over 350 developers. From algorithm verification to embodied intelligence implementation, Panthera-HT is emerging as the standard platform for developer hackathons.

► April Achievements | Four Events, Fully Empowering Developers

The four events spanned East, South and North China, partnering with top institutions including Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Peking University and AttraX. Participants produced working demos in as little as a single day, and completed the full cycle from idea conception to on-site demonstration in up to four days. Additionally, Panthera-HT has been officially designated as the standard platform for the ICRA 2026 WBCD Challenge.

Deeply integrating Panthera-HT with hackathons has become a unanimous choice across the hackathon ecosystem.

► On-site Highlights | One-Day Implementation, Endless Creativity

The fast pace of hackathons serves as the ultimate real-world stress test. There is no time for parameter tuning, nor any chance to start over. At various events in April, developers delivered the following with Panthera-HT:

🥂 Cocktail Mixing Robotic Arm

Teach-and-playback accurately reproduces every step of fetching and passing drinks, assisting bartenders in completing the entire process with zero errors.

☕ Robotic Arm Serves You Coffee

RealSense + YOLO detects cup positions in real time, hand-eye calibration achieves coordinate alignment, and full-process dynamic tracking is enabled throughout. From static grasping to perception-driven interaction, the solution was implemented within a single day.

🤖 Workplace Voice Robotic Arm

Voiceprint recognition captures negative tones and automatically triggers clamping movements. When the user is feeling down, it switches to snack delivery mode — a true workplace stress reliever. Built on emotion perception and taught trajectories, the result resonates more strongly than it sounds.

Robotic Arm Disco Dancing

These use cases can be rapidly implemented under high-intensity schedules, thanks to the core strengths of Panthera-HT.

► Why Has Panthera-HT Become the Go-to Platform for Hackathons?

✅ Ready-to-use, perfectly matching hackathon pace

Equipped with complete SDK, software ecosystem and sample code, developers can get started instantly on-site without wasting time on environment setup.

✅ Full-stack open source with unlimited potential

100% open access from hardware BOM to upper-level algorithms, allowing developers to focus entirely on creativity and algorithms within limited time.

✅ High performance that stands up to on-site verification

With a load-to-weight ratio close to 1:1 and repeat positioning accuracy of 0.1 mm, results from hackathons can be deployed directly on the physical robot.

✅ Deepening ecosystem partnerships

From being officially designated as the standard platform by ICRA to hackathon collaborations with top universities, Panthera-HT is becoming the shared choice of the developer community.

► Next Stops | Converging Hardware, Explosive Creativity

Going forward, Panthera-HT will deepen the robotic arm × hackathon model, with next stops at the BEYOND Expo in Macau and the Beijing Hackathon in July. We welcome universities, incubators and ecosystem partners across regions to co-host events. When hardware and control capabilities converge, it is the perfect moment to unleash creativity.

High Torque will continue to open up hardware platforms and technical exchange channels, supporting and participating in diverse ecosystem activities. While systematically showcasing product capabilities, we keep expanding application boundaries. We are committed to building the infrastructure for embodied intelligence, making high-performance robotic arm platforms accessible to every developer.
