Cybathlon: Sports competition for robot-assisted parathletes
Not too long ago, i presumed that we were not far from the time when sports competition would take on a whole new image by introducing robotics technology into athletes with disabilities.
A few months later, the Cybathlon competition is announced which will take place in 2016 in Zurich and will constitute the first championship for parathletes who use advanced assistive devices in replacement of the corresponding impaired physical capability.
These news come faster than i expected, as now i can hardly imagine what could be the next great milestone in the progress of robotics technology. If one thing is for sure, it is that the future is here.
