CarphaCom Wins 🏆 at LabLab AI "AI Meets Robotics" Hackathon 2026
In February 2026, CarphaCom — the robotics and e-commerce division of QubitPage — secured the top prize 🏆 at the prestigious LabLab AI "AI Meets Robotics" hackathon. The victory earned the team an invitation to present at NVIDIA GTC 2026 in San Jose, California.
The Winning Vision: Lights-Out E-Commerce
The hackathon challenged teams to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and physical robotics. CarphaCom's submission stood out by presenting a complete, production-ready ecosystem — not just a concept, but a deployable enterprise solution for fully autonomous e-commerce fulfillment.
At the heart of the project is the SENTINEL Series humanoid robot platform, integrated with a headless Medusa.js 2.0 commerce engine. When a customer places an order, the system triggers real-time robotic workflows: pick, pack, and ship — all without human intervention.
"We demonstrated that 'Lights-Out' fulfillment is no longer a dream — it's a turnkey enterprise solution. The store is the warehouse."

What Made It Stand Out
- End-to-end integration: From web storefront to robot arm, every step is automated
- Real hardware targets: The SENTINEL units are designed for IP68-rated industrial deployment
- Enterprise-grade backend: Medusa.js 2.0 headless commerce with real-time event-driven architecture
- Simulation-first approach: Fully validated in NVIDIA Isaac Sim before physical deployment
What's Next
The team will present the full project at NVIDIA GTC 2026 (March 16–19) in San Jose. Catch the live presentation at the Vultr booth (#1631) on Wednesday, March 18 at 5:00 PM.
