Self-supervised learning in the autonomous industry refers to the use of unlabeled or semi-supervised large-scale collected data to train recognition models for real-world perception tasks in autonomous systems. This is a data-intensive approach, however, it holds great potential for the ever-growing field of autonomous systems, including drone research, autonomous exploration, and bio-inspired systems. The goal is to develop autonomous systems that can think and react independently in real-world situations.
β We aim to push the boundaries of this field by challenging contestants to develop cutting-edge, industry-level autonomous systems through self-supervised learning techniques

Originality/creativity | Whether or not the product is unique from other products or ideas already implemented |
Practical implementation | Whether or not the overall product is clear as how it was developed (framework, coding conventions, naming conventions), sustainable and affordable to implement in the near future. |
Consistency with hackathon theme | Whether or not the product is related to the concept of the hackathon |
Benefit to humanity | Whether or not the product can bring about definite social benefits |
Submission items | Details |
---|---|
Video | Video to demo product (Recommend: 1 minute length) |

After signing up at https://wow-ai.com/worldwideaihackathon/, find other participants and potential team members in the following ways:
Step 1: Navigate to Competitions and select the ones you're most eager to take on
Step 2: Form a team π
β³οΈ If you want to form a new team: * Click Create a new team & Join this competition and go to "My Teams" to invite your team members.
β³οΈ If you want to join an existing team: * Ask your teammate to add your username or email to their "My Team" section * OR: Go to "Teams" and select the desired team β Request to join
Please note: If you've already created a new team but want to join another one, go to "My Teams β Disband team" then follow the above-mentioned steps.
Or you can go to π find-a-teammate channel on Discord and look for other participants and potential team members to join with you
Each team will be supported by at least one mentor and the Organizer assists in matching team(s) to the mentor based on the submission form and information that mentors provide us.
In case you wish to have more than 01 mentor, we provide you the following ways to approach our incredible mentors:
(1) π Go to Dashboard βCompetitions β Mentors β Invite. β¨
When you have their answers, you can officially invite them into your team in the platform or remove them by Going to My team β Member β Invite mentors/ Revoke
OR (2) π Go to πͺfind-a-mentor channel on Discord and ask for help from our entire mentor community
