The mission

Makinglifemoreaccessiblewithinnovativetechnology.

Cybathlon acts as a platform that challenges teams from all over the world to develop assistive technologies suitable for everyday use with and for people with disabilities.

Our challenge

People with a severe visual impairment or complete loss of vision lack the most basic information about their environment, which limits their autonomy in completing many activities of daily living. New technologies such as an intelligent white cane help to provide information about the environment that is otherwise accessed through vision by rendering the information to the available senses, such as touch or hearing.

Our vision

We want to make a valuable impact on new technologies for assistance systems with our innovative solution. The development will be done in direct contact with blind or visually impaired people.
