CYBATHLON

Competing without barriers.

CYBATHLON is a multidisciplinary competition organized by ETH Zurich taking place every four years, where people with physical disabilities compete using technical aids. It is a place where people and technology unite as one, to bring the vision of a world without barriers to reality. The competition is composed of 8 disciplines:

1. ROB – Assistance Robot Race
2. VIS – Vision Assistance Race
3. ARM – Arm Prosthesis Race
4. BCI – Brain-Computer Interface Race
5. EXO – Powered Exoskeleton Race
6. FSS – Functional Electrical Stimulation Bike Race
7. LEG – Leg Prosthesis Race
8. WHL – Wheelchair Race

Our first goal as DASH, is to participate in the upcoming Powered Exoskeleton Race in CYBATHLON 2024. In this discipline, pilots wearing the lower-limb exoskeleton designed and developed by the teams must carry out everyday tasks, such as climbing and descending stairs, crossing obstacles in the street, etc.
