Adem Bot + Adem Project

Adem Bot is a challenge-ready robot built to complete the UTRA Hacks 2026 closed challenges, paired with an immersive 3D interactive digital twin that lets teams test components, wiring, and configurations virtually—so you can iterate faster without physically handling hardware.

Problem & Background

Robotics challenges move fast, but hardware iteration is slow and risky. Rebuilding configurations takes time, wiring mistakes happen, and it’s hard to validate an idea without physically assembling it.

Most tools are either:

CAD-only (nice visuals, but limited interaction for wiring + testing)
Code-only (fast iteration, but hard to understand physically)

We needed a way to prototype and test robot changes in an easier environment before touching the real robot.

Motivation & Goal

The goal of Adem is to make robot development:

Faster (test more ideas in less time)
Safer (fewer physical wiring/build mistakes)
More immersive and intuitive (natural interaction instead of only mouse/keyboard)
Less hardware-dependent (simulate changes digitally first)

In short: build and test better robots without constantly handling hardware.

What It Does

Adem Bot (Challenge Execution)

Built to complete UTRA Hacks closed challenges
Designed with a modular architecture so it can adapt to different challenge constraints
Focused on reliability and repeatability for competition-style tasks

Adem Project (3D Interactive Digital Twin)

Real-time 3D exploration: inspect every area of the robot digitally
Add components in-app: attach motors, servos, wheels, and other modules
Wire it virtually: map components to ports and visualize connections clearly
Test configurations digitally: validate layouts and system setup before building
Camera-based finger tracking controls: interact with the 3D robot using your hands, tracked through your camera—making the experience more immersive, more intuitive, and improving accessibility for users who prefer not to rely on traditional mouse/keyboard input

Data + Lifecycle Backbone (Snowflake)

We built a cloud-based system using Snowflake to keep a permanent, versioned record of our robot’s technical schematics and parts. This makes every update traceable, and lets the 3D interface act as a live dashboard that always reflects the most up-to-date robot configuration and inventory.

We deployed a Multi-Cloud Cyber-Physical System that uses Snowflake for Immutable Lifecycle Management. By centralizing our robot’s Technical Schematics and live inventory in a Cloud-Native Warehouse, we’ve achieved Real-Time Observability, allowing the 3D interface to act as a live dashboard for Distributed Asset Tracking.

What that enables

Version history you can trust (what changed, when, and why)
Live component database (dimensions + availability + low/high stock)
Real-time observability directly inside the 3D interface

On-Chain Interaction (Solana Actions / Blinks)

We integrated Solana Actions/Blinks so users can mint their robot assemblies as compressed NFTs using only hand gestures—with no wallet connection UI required.

How it works

The system generates a QR code that encodes a Solana Action
Any compatible wallet can execute the action by scanning the code
This makes blockchain interaction feel as simple as: build → gesture → scan → mint

What that enables

One-step minting for robot assemblies (as digital collectibles / build proofs)
Frictionless UX (no separate wallet-connect flow)
Shareable build identity tied to a specific assembly/configuration

What I Learned

Building an interactive 3D digital twin that supports real configuration workflows
Designing camera-based finger tracking as a practical UI for engineering tools
Modeling components + ports + wiring in software (so it behaves like a real build process)
Connecting a cloud-native data warehouse to a real-time app for inventory + system visibility
Speeding up iteration by moving from “hardware-first” to digital test-first
Using Solana Actions/Blinks to create a low-friction on-chain UX for minting assemblies
