The third CYBATHLON edition was held from October 25 to 27, 2024, at Arena Schluefweg in Kloten near Zurich. Brubotics competed in the Lower-Limb Prosthesis (LEG) competition. We had a great time competing against teams from around the world with teams from Chile and South Africa, India, and throughout Europe. Although during the training we were able to perform all the tasks, we weren't able to complete as many during the competition. We learned a lot and hope to further our progress in the future.
Thank you to all of our team members and sponsors who were able to make this happen.
The CYBATHLON is a championship for robot-assisted parathletes. The idea is simple: parathletes will race against each other over an obstacle course. In order to do so, the athletes will be assisted by prototypes of prostheses, wearable exoskeletons, powered wheelchairs, etc., that use new robotic technologies.
If all this doesn’t get you excited yet, check out their website and the promotional video of the CYBATHLON below.
