HawkRobo Academy is a selective, cohort-based, outcome-driven fellowship where students gain hands-on experience at the intersection of robotics, AI, and entrepreneurship by working directly inside a real-world startup environment. Unlike traditional education programs, the Academy immerses students in the actual operations of an AI robotics company — from engineering and product development to marketing, partnerships, and innovation strategy.
In addition to combining technology and entrepreneurship, the Academy also connects students to the top innovation ecosystem — bringing them into real startup environments and giving them access to elite programs such as Harvard’s top business school courses, MBA-level frameworks, and entrepreneurship competitions, where they can learn and practice directly through real-world experience.
AI Robotics Community — Where students think, build, and launch their own AI-powered robot
Step into a real AI robotics startup and experience how intelligent machines are reshaping the future. Students explore HawkRobo’s office, meet engineers, interact with prototypes, and watch live demonstrations of robotic dogs and AI systems. Along the way, they gain a unique introduction to entrepreneurship, learning how ideas evolve into products inside a fast-moving startup environment.
In this incubator-style program, students submit their own startup concepts in the AI robotics space and advance them with full support from HawkRobo’s engineering, product, and business teams. From validating concepts to crafting prototypes and early go-to-market strategies, students experience what it truly means to build at the founder level. This track brings students into the top global tech startup ecosystem, where they learn and collaborate like emerging leaders, moving closer to launching real, high-impact ventures.
At the 2026 AI & Robotics Entrepreneurs Program Info Session, discover how students transform frontier technologies into real prototypes, real ventures, and real-world impact, guided by engineers, founders, and leading global innovation hubs. Participants also gain the opportunity for exclusive access to the Harvard–MIT pitch competition, where top students receive world-class mentorship and pathways to competitive entrepreneurship awards and scholarships.
