Ten companies will be selected to participate in the program and will be housed on Qualcomm’s corporate campus in San Diego. The companies will build next generation smart machines that combine mechanics and intelligent controls, computer vision, sensors, navigation, and wireless communications. Over $1 million in aggregate funding will be committed by Qualcomm for the program participants. Additionally, participants will be offered business and technical insight on robotics during the program. Upon completion of the four-month accelerator program, companies will be offered full access to Techstars’ network of over 3,000 entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, and corporate partners. Interested companies can submit their applications until February 22, 2015. The program commences in May 2015 and concludes in September 2015 with a demo day where each team presents their work to investors, industry leaders, and the community at large.
