Description

The Disrupting Mobility Hackathon 2015 will be about creating your own concepts for an Urban Autonomous Delivery system that moves goods, services, or people within a city.
The application of urban autonomous delivery is wide ranging. The six focus areas for this Hackathon are:

Moving people (Seniors, people without a driver’s licence, drunk drivers, distracted drivers)
Small packages (max. 17.88" x 12.38" x 3", e.g., Electronics/Books/small Furniture)
Food & Beverages (Fit to temperature requirements)
City Services (Garbage collection, street cleaning, street maintenance, parking tickets)
Medical Services (Focus on safety, cleanliness)
Disaster/Emergency Handling (Fire, Police, natural disasters)

During the event there will be a series of one-hour seminars where you can learn about sensors, controls, prototyping and fabrication, platforms, and programming. Prior to the event, a set of online tutorials will be provided on the event website.
