About

CYBATHLON is an initiative and competition platform founded in 2013 by Robert Riener at ETH Zurich, aimed at advancing assistive technologies for people with disabilities. The competition serves as a global stage where teams develop and demonstrate innovative assistive devices, such as powered exoskeletons, robotic wheelchairs, and brain-computer interfaces. It emphasizes collaboration between users, known as pilots, and technology developers to ensure that the needs of people with disabilities shape the design and functionality of these devices. The event features eight disciplines focused on different types of assistive technology, promoting breakthroughs that enhance independence and quality of life for users. CYBATHLON engages a diverse audience, including technology developers, researchers, and the general public, to raise awareness about disability inclusion and the potential of assistive technologies. With its growing reach, the competition has become a significant platform for showcasing innovations in rehabilitation technology, benefiting people with disabilities worldwide.
