World’s First Mirokai Robot Hackathon – AI Meets Innovation at Queen Mary University

This month, in June 2025, Queen Mary University’s School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, in collaboration with RoboHack, hosted a world first: a hackathon featuring the Mirokai robot from Enchanted Tools.

Using the Mirokai simulator—and one of just 20 real Mirokai robots in existence—participants prototyped everything from object description to guided tours and even a robot photoshoot. Yes, the robots were camera-ready.

Powered by advanced AI and a large language model, Mirokai is one of the most innovative humanoids in development—and it showed. Developers used the beta SDK in Python to bring their ideas to life in under 48 hours.

The event reached full capacity a week early, proving there’s serious excitement around this tech. Enchanted Tools gained valuable feedback, and participants walked away inspired—some said it was “a really good time.” Which, in hacker-speak, is pretty high praise.
