EAI Robotics Future Founder Immersion Program

EAI Robotics.
Future Founder.
Immersion Program.

Two 5-Day Sessions. Real Robots. Real Engineers. Real Startup Experience.

Choose Session 1, Session 2, or both. Each 5-day session is a complete founder-level AI robotics immersion with its own mini hackathon and pitch.

Session 1: Early July 2026

Session 2: Late July 2026

$1,399 per session / $2,500 for both sessions

Two standalone sessions. One founder-level robotics immersion.

The program is now structured as two independent 5-day sessions. Students may join Session 1, Session 2, or both, and each pathway is designed to produce a meaningful project outcome.

Session 1 focuses on robotics venture building. Session 2 focuses on AI robotics product and autonomy. Students who join both experience two distinct arcs rather than repeating the same material.

Program pillar

Session 1: Robotics Venture Lab

Students identify a real robotics problem, build a prototype, shape a business model, and pitch a venture concept.

Program pillar

Session 2: AI Robotics Product Lab

Students build around autonomy loops, scenario testing, product metrics, and launch-ready storytelling.

Program pillar

One Session or Both

Each session stands alone for new students, while both-session students gain non-repeating projects, mentors, and demo-day moments.

Signature Moments

Three defining moments.

Both 5-day sessions are built around moments that change how students see robotics, company building, product thinking, and their own future.

Mentors & Guests

Meet the people building the future.

Engineers, founders, executives, professors, and investors show students how the real world is built.

Selected fireside chats and critique sessions turn the program into a direct encounter with people working at the edge of AI robotics, products, capital, and research.

Hackathon

Two shorter hackathons, one per session.

Each session ends with a focused build sprint, demo, technical Q&A, and founder-style pitch.

Students make tradeoffs, debug under time pressure, and learn how strong teams turn uncertainty into a working demo and a clear story.

Outcomes

Students leave with more than memories.

A project story, founder-style pitch, portfolio material, and a pathway to keep going after the program.

Students who attend one session leave with a complete project arc. Students who attend both leave with two distinct project stories they can continue through Agentech AI Club, internship, or research pathways.

Two 5-Day Journeys

Two standalone sessions. No repeated path.

Each session moves from discovery to build sprint to demo day. Session 1 and Session 2 are parallel, not prerequisite-based.

Session 1 / Day 1

Discover a Robotics Venture

Start with a real problem.

Students enter Session 1 as venture builders. They explore a real robotics company environment, form teams, and choose a problem that can become a robotics startup concept within five focused days.

Morning

Session 1 Kickoff
Robotics Company Orientation
Problem Discovery Lab

Afternoon

Robot Platform Tour
Team Formation
Venture Challenge Selection

Evening

Founder Fireside: Robotics Startups

Session 1 / Day 2

Prototype the First Capability

A venture needs proof that something works.

Teams learn the language of embodied AI and connect it to a first capability. The emphasis is on showing early technical proof, not repeating textbook AI concepts.

Morning

Embodied AI Fundamentals
Robot System Architecture
Capability Mapping

Afternoon

Programming Workshop
Simulation Sprint
First Prototype Review

Evening

Daily Demo & Mentor Feedback

Session 1 / Day 3

Turn Tech into Product

Technology becomes valuable when a user needs it.

Students connect the prototype to a customer problem, a user story, and a simple business model. Session 1 keeps founder thinking tightly coupled to the build.

Morning

User Problem Framing
Market Discovery
Product Promise

Afternoon

Engineer-Led Skill Workshop
Prototype Refinement
Business Model Sketch

Evening

Guest Talk: Robotics in the Real World

Session 1 / Day 4

Hackathon Kickoff: Build Sprint

The first demo takes shape under constraints.

The Session 1 hackathon begins with a shorter, focused sprint. Teams lock scope, stabilize their prototype, and prepare a story that explains both the technology and the venture.

Morning

Scope Lock
Hardware & Safety Review
Demo Success Criteria

Afternoon

Mini Hackathon Kickoff
Build, Test, Debug
Mentor Check-ins

Evening

Pitch Outline and Risk Review

Session 1 / Day 5

Session 1 Demo Day

Pitch the venture, defend the build.

Session 1 closes with a compact hackathon showcase and founder-style pitch. Students leave with a robotics venture story, prototype evidence, and feedback they can continue developing.

Morning

Final Build Lock
Demo Rehearsal
Technical Q&A Prep

Afternoon

Mini Hackathon Showcase
Founder-Style Pitch
Awards and Reflection

Evening

Continuation Pathways

Session 2 / Day 1

Map the Autonomy Opportunity

A second session starts fresh, with a different lens.

Session 2 is standalone for new students and non-repetitive for returning students. Teams focus on AI robotics product opportunities, autonomy loops, and workflow value rather than repeating Session 1 venture discovery.

Morning

Session 2 Kickoff
Autonomy Use-Case Lab
AI Product Briefing

Afternoon

Workflow Mapping
Team Formation
Product Challenge Selection

Evening

Expert Fireside: Autonomy in the Real World

Session 2 / Day 2

Build the AI Product Loop

Autonomy is a loop, not a single trick.

Students build around perception, decision, action, and feedback. The work emphasizes product reliability, scenario testing, and measurable improvement.

The path narrows from broad challenge discovery into one focused use case that can be built, tested, and explained.

Challenge

Perception and Planning
Data and Evaluation
Autonomy Loop Design

Deep Work

System Integration Sprint
Scenario Testing
Technical Review

Expert Review

Daily Demo and Iteration Notes

Session 2 / Day 3

Test, Iterate, and Position

A product improves when its failures are visible.

Teams stress-test their AI robotics product idea and improve it through feedback. Returning students encounter a different content arc focused on autonomy, metrics, and product positioning.

Morning

Reliability Testing
Failure Mode Review
Product Metrics

Afternoon

Iteration Sprint
User Scenario Validation
Launch Storyline

Evening

Pitch Coaching: Product Positioning

Hackathon begins

Session 2 / Day 4

Launch Sprint Kickoff

Build fast, then make the product understandable.

The Session 2 hackathon begins on Day 4 with a product launch sprint. Teams stabilize the build, prepare evidence, and make deliberate tradeoffs before demo day.

Morning

Launch Scope Lock
Roadmap and Risk Review
Judging Criteria

Afternoon

Mini Hackathon Kickoff
Product Build Sprint
Mentor Check-ins

Evening

Demo Rehearsal and Final Tests
