In 21 countries across the globe, hundreds of people are preparing for Cybathlon 2016, where cutting edge robotic assistive technologies will help people with disabilities to compete in a series of races. This summer the Cybathlon practice session took place at the Swiss Arena in Kloten so that the teams could test out the courses. Watch the trailer for the rehearsal games!
Cybathlon 2016 is organised by ETH Zurich and will showcase six disciplines:
- BCI Race Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Bike Race
- Powered Arm Prosthesis Race
- Powered Leg Prosthesis Race
