The Cybathlon pushes the limits of bionic technology
Technology designed to help people with disabilities has come a long way in the last decade. Bionic arms and legs, powered wheelchairs and even exoskeletons give people who are paralyzed the ability to walk again. But we still have a long way to go—and that’s where the Cybathlon comes in.
In a global, olympic-style competition, people with physical disabilities compete against each other in day-to-day tasks like screwing in a lightbulb, making breakfast and doing laundry with prosthetic arms, legs and other aids.
This week, Quartz News travels to Karlsruhe, Germany to follow Claudia Breidbach from Iceland in the powered arm prosthetics race on the road to Cybathlon 2020.
