Introducing the RoboArt Winners 
 

Published on Nov 18th 2022

On Nov. 4th - 6th Women in AI & Robotics held its first cross-Atlantic Robotics hackathon, RoboArt. The hackathon took participants on a journey into robotics, where they learn more about robots and how to create art! 15 participating teams worked to develop their artistic robotic application using the simulation tool on a three days journey between tutorials, coding, application development, and talks from robotics researchers, experts and entrepreneurs. We congratulate all the teams for taking this opportunity to learn something new, have fun and collaborate with many in our global community. We are proud to introduce the 3 winning teams for their teamwork, problem-solving and dedication to complete the challenges. We are grateful to NVIDIA, Acrylic Robotics and Clearpath for sponsoring the prizes.

Congratulations to our team from Women in AI & Robotics that ranked first and won 7.000 EUR in prizes at the WomenHackAI Hackathon. The challenge was to detect the anomalies in Siemens’s financial Time Series Data. The teammates Mobina Mobaraki, Anne Krus, Gwladys Djuikom, Nathanya Queby Satriani, Saarah Abdulla, Hanin Al Ghothani, and Farah Tahir brought their skills and expertise from many different countries and backgrounds together to solve the challenge using state-of-the-art hardware and software. They developed 3 scalable AI Anomaly Detection models along with a user interface to show the anomaly points on a given data. It was a 52-hour nonstop competition organized by Siemens company which is being led by the mission to increase the presence of women in AI. Among various sets of solutions like an AI-powered Webcrawler, a "Void Tracker" to create missing GPS data to detect rail track defects, and a model-based News-Recommender, the solution of our team convinced the jury the most!

Women in AI & Robotics Team at the SICK Solutions Hackathon
 

Published on Oct 6th 2022

Can robots smell? Yes, they can! AI Nose for example is able to do it, as our team explained. And in a combination with a mobile robot, it moves following the smell. Once the robot finds the smell it was looking for, it gives a notification – a solution that can help detect drugs, but also gas leaks, or help in the farming of different plants. The team emphasized how much the professional set-up at the hackathon supported the creation of their idea. The SICK Solution Hackathon gave young talents from universities and startups a chance to bring in their way of thinking and creating new ideas. More than 100 participants from 16 countries who were given just 48 hours to develop innovative IoT solutions. Together with hack coaches from well-known industry leaders such as Bosch Rexroth, SAP or Trumpf, the hack participants were competing in the contest at SICK's Sensor Intelligence Academy near Freiburg in Southern Germany.
