About

Launch & Fund Your Startup is a new series of intensive events where builders go from zero to pitch-ready in just a few days. Each edition combines expert mentorship, real funding pathways, and hands-on building inside the lablab.ai ecosystem.

Each edition features a unique technical theme, high-stakes prizes, and an intensive bootcamp-style build cycle, all designed to take you from idea → demo → pitch → funding.

Edition 1 is focused on AI-powered robotics, from autonomous systems and smart devices to developer tools and orchestration layers. Whether you're starting fresh or scaling an existing product, you'll work toward a working robotics demo with real users, real signal, and a pitch aligned with SURGE’s funding model.

⚠️ Prizes Eligibility:

To be eligible to win prizes, all teams must post their final submission video on X (Twitter) and tag both

• @lablabai

• @Surgexyz_

in the same post.

The direct link to this post must be included in the official submission form. (For more information, please go to the "What to submit?" section below

Teams that do not meet this requirement will not be eligible to win prizes.

Media & Community partners

In this hackathon, you will design and build software-first robotics systems that operate entirely in simulation, combining AI, automation, and modern cloud infrastructure.

Your goal is to create a production-minded robotics application that demonstrates autonomy, decision-making, and real-world relevance. Physical robots are not required. Simulation-first approaches are strongly encouraged.

Teams should think like startup builders and deliver solutions that could realistically evolve into real products.

Tracks
Participants must choose one primary track. You may incorporate ideas from multiple tracks, but your submission should clearly align with one main focus.

Track 1: Autonomous Robotics Control in Simulation

Challenge: Build an AI system that controls a robot operating fully within a simulated environment.

This track focuses on robot autonomy and control, including movement, task execution, and decision-making for simulated robots such as mobile robots, robotic arms, or multi-robot systems.

Your solution should demonstrate how a robot:

• Uses simulated state and sensor data to plan actions
• Reacts to environmental changes
• Completes objectives without manual intervention

Projects should emphasize robust, adaptable behavior, not scripted or hard-coded sequences. Teams are encouraged to show how their control logic could be transferred to real robots in the future.

Track 2: Simulation-to-Real Training and Evaluation Pipelines

Challenge: Build systems that use simulation as the primary environment for training, testing, or validating robotic behaviors before deployment on real robots.

This track focuses on reducing the cost, time, and risk of real-world robotics development. Projects may include:

• Training pipelines
• Domain randomization setups
• Evaluation and benchmarking frameworks
• Tools for validating robotic performance across scenarios

Solutions should clearly show how simulation outputs can be reused or adapted for real robotic systems, and how the approach scales beyond a single demo.

Track 3: Robotic Interaction and Task Execution (Simulation-First)

Challenge: Build a simulated robotic system that performs a concrete physical task through interaction with objects or its environment.

Examples include:

• Picking and placing objects
• Sorting or organizing items
• Simple assembly
• Structured interaction with the environment

Projects should focus on reliable task execution under different simulated conditions rather than perfect physics or overly complex scenarios. Solutions should demonstrate repeatability, basic failure handling, and clear performance metrics.

Your mission is to build and launch an AI-native product using X402 Payments - a programmable payments infrastructure designed for the next generation of agentic and automated economies.

In this edition of Launch & Fund Your Startup, you’ll have 6 days to validate an idea, build a working prototype, and present a credible path toward real users and on-chain revenue.

This challenge is open to everyone - from early-stage founders to existing startups looking to expand or pivot their products.

Your submission should clearly show how your solution integrates or reimagines X402 Payments in the context of real-world financial interaction

Tracks
Choose one - or mix and match. Each track explores a core use case of programmable payments in the age of agentic systems:

🤖 Agent-to-Agent Payments

Challenge: Build a system where two or more agents autonomously trigger and settle payments—e.g., for usage-based services, access control, or dynamic pricing. Your product should demonstrate a working agentic payment loop with minimal human input.

🧑‍💼Consumer AI Payments

Challenge: Develop an AI assistant that can make payments on a user’s behalf—with built-in rules like spending limits, approval checkpoints, or identity verification (KYC/AML). Showcase how your product handles decision-making, compliance, and safeguards.

🏢 B2B FinOps & Compliance

Challenge: Build a tool for businesses to manage real-time payments and financial operations—like tracking cash flow, enforcing policies, or generating audit-ready records. Highlight automation, accuracy, and visibility into payment activity.

🛒 On-chain Commerce Primitives

Challenge: Launch a digital product or service with a built-in revenue model using X402. Think: token-gated access, real-time rev-splits, or instant payouts to contributors. Your prototype should demonstrate seamless, trustless commerce flows.

Technology

This edition is software-only and simulation-first. Your project should run entirely in simulation, digital twin environments, or as robotics tools/platforms — no physical hardware is required or expected.

You’re free to choose the stack you know best. The focus is on end-to-end value for a real user, not on any specific framework.

🧪 Software-only robotics
• Simulation-based – robots, environments, and behaviors running in a simulator
• Digital twins or virtual environments – modeled warehouses, factories, farms, buildings, etc.
• Robotics devtools / platforms – dashboards, orchestration, monitoring, analytics, CI/CD, or other software for robotics teams
If judges can open your app in a browser and see your product or simulation in action, you’re in the right place.

🦾 Robotics stack & simulation
• Frameworks: ROS / ROS 2 or your own robotics middleware
• Simulators: Gazebo / Ignition, Webots, Isaac Sim, Unity, Unreal, or similar
• Digital twins: simplified models of real-world spaces to demonstrate your use case (e.g., warehouse aisles, hospital corridors, fields)
Use whatever lets you show a realistic scenario for your “robotics startup” in software.

🧠 AI, perception & planning
• Vision models on simulated camera feeds (detection, tracking, segmentation, pose estimation)
• SLAM, mapping, localization, or navigation using simulated sensor data
• LLMs or agents for task planning, instruction-following, operator copilots, or workflow automation
• Rule-based or learned decision layers that decide what the robot(s) do next in sim

🎛 Control, orchestration & ops
Build the software layer that would actually run a robotics product:
• High-level control of single robots or fleets in simulation
• Task/job scheduling across multiple simulated agents
• Teleoperation UIs that control simulated robots
• Monitoring, logging, replay and debugging tools for simulated runs

🖥 Product & UX

Remember: this is a startup-focused challenge, not just a technical one. Think about the product experience:
• Operator dashboards and control panels (web apps)
• Analytics views and alerts for robotics teams or customers
• APIs and webhooks so other systems can integrate with your robotics product

⚠️ Important – Prize Eligibility Requirement:
