Joi

2nd place AI & Robotics · EuroTech Federation Hong Kong Hackathon, co-hosted by HKTE, HKSTP, HSITP & Cyberport

AI bedside robotic companion for Hong Kong's ageing population. Talks through a Gemini voice pipeline, emotes, and performs real care tasks — water and pill delivery — on a low-cost SO-101 arm with two trained ACT policies (50+ teleop episodes each). Caregiver dashboard + FastAPI bridge run fully local, so no patient data leaves the device. Targets care homes under HK's HK$2B gerontech fund at under HKD 4,000 per unit.

Tenkai

Unicorn Mafia · Americas Hackathon 2026

AR as an OS layer for the physical world. Point your phone at any object — a Red Bull, your backpack, a club entrance — and get a floating Liquid Glass UI anchored to it in 3D space. Cards surface your data in context: calories, packing checklists, venue lineups, calendar. A Gemini Live voice agent sees what you see and responds in real time. Went to a club with the product and got 8 signups on the spot.
