SUMMARY:Cybathlon Global 2020 Powered Exoskeleton Race
DESCRIPTION:In 2016 Cybathlon rocked the world as the first cyber-olympic event dedicated to powered wheelchairs\, functional electrical stimulation bicycles\, powered prosthetics\, and of course\, lower body-powered exoskeletons. Even with a pandemic raging across the world\, the organizers are not going to skip this year’s iteration of the event and will hold Cybathlon Global Edition. Powered walking-assistance exoskeletons will compete remotely from their perspective home bases. \n“CYBATHLON 2020 Global Edition will take place on 13 – 14 November 2020. Approximately 60 CYBATHLON teams are poised to compete from their home bases by setting up race infrastructure (to the competition’s specifications) and filming their races. From Zurich\, the competitions will be broadcasted in a unique live program. CYBATHLON pilots and their development teams will show what they have achieved together over the past years offering spectators an unforgettable experience. Find further information about the CYBATHLON 2020 Global Edition on this website: https://cybathlon.ethz.ch/en/.” \nThe Cybathlon race is a critical event that brings awareness to human augmentation and restorative devices while also encouraging innovation through friendly competition. The obstacle course is meant to be representative of the challenges of everyday living. In 2016\, they included sit-to-stand on a surprisingly low chair\, going up and down on ramps and stairs\, opening and closing doors\, taking longer leaps\, and walking on sideways inclined terrain. This puts wearable robotics outside of the abstract lab testing and into an environment that more closely represents what their intended users would have to navigate daily. Furthermore\, the adrenaline from the competitive nature of the event tests the efficiency of the exoskeletons in addition to their capabilities. \nThe Cybathlon Global 2020 Powered Exoskeleton Race has no less than 10 teams registered to compete\, some returning from 2016 as well many first time competitors: \n\nAngel Robotics 1 (KR)\nAngel Robotics 2 (KR)\nExoAtlet (RU)\nExoAtlet (KR)\nGenElek Tech (IN)\nIHMC Robotics (US)\nTWIICE (CH)\nVariLeg enhanced 1 (CH)\nVariLeg enhanced 2 (CH)\nWandercraft (FR)\n\nYou can find much more about the teams at the CYBATHLON 2020 Global Edition https://cybathlon.ethz.ch/en/teams.

SUMMARY:CYBATHLON Symposium
DESCRIPTION:“CYBATHLON Symposium in New Interactive Virtual Format on 17–18 September 2020\, as kick-off into the CYBATHLON 2020 \n\n\n\n\nIn view of the current international situation we have decided to organise the CYBATHLON and CYBATHLON Symposium 2020 in a new global format\, mixing virtual and physical races and events. After consulting with CYBATHLON teams and Symposium keynote speakers\, this decision was reached jointly with ETH Zurich and the CYBATHLON Organising Committee. The CYBATHLON Organising Committee is working intensively on a new global format scheduled for autumn 2020\, and further information will follow shortly via the CYBATHLON channels. \nAs a kick-off into this new CYBATHLON era\, the CYBATHLON Symposium will take place according to the initially planned program\, but in a new\, entirely virtual format with a special focus on maintaining interactivity during talks\, posters/demos and the podium session. To better comply with time differences among participants\, it will take place over two days on 17–18 September 2020. \nWe are also excited to inform you that taking advantage of this change imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic\, participation to the virtual CYBATHLON Symposium will be made free\, in order to make it accessible to a larger public\, and especially to students. We will contact those of you who already paid the registration fee for a reimbursement over the next weeks. More information will soon be available on our website \nWe thank all our partners\, speakers and registered participants for their understanding and their continuous inspiration for moving people and technology together. \nWe are looking forward to a reimagined and exciting CYBATHLON and CYBATHLON Symposium 2020! Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. \nRoger Gassert and Olivier Lambercy\nCYBATHLON Symposium 2020 Co-Chairs” \nProgram (tentative as of August 6th\, 2020):\n\n\n\nCYBATHLON Symposium 2020 Day 1\, September 17\, 2020\nAll Times CEST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime\nProgramme\n\n\n\n\n13h00–13h10\nWelcome address\, including welcome message by Stavros Niarchos Foundation\n\n\n13h15–13h55\nAmit Goffer\, PhD (UPnRIDE Robotics Ltd.\, Israel)\nUpright Rolling with a Robotic Power Wheelchair (KEYNOTE)\n\n\n14h00–14h15\nShort Talk 1: Diego Paez-Granados (EPFL\, Switzerland)\nMaterializing personal standing mobility from design to shared control\n\n\n14h20–15h00\nVance Bergeron\, PhD (École Normale Supérieure de Lyon\, France)\nFunctional Electrical Stimulation Cycling: an Electrifying Sport (KEYNOTE)\n\n\n15h05–15h20\nShort Talk 2: Sebastian Tobler (Bern University of Applied Science\, Switzerland)\nRecumbent trike with epidural electrical stimulation\n\n\n15h25–16h05\nRobert Griffin\, PhD (Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition\, USA)\nA decade of IHMC’s powered exoskeleton research and development (KEYNOTE)\n\n\n16h10–16h25\nTalk 3: Giada Devittori (ETH Zurich\, Switzerland)\nGait analysis of ambulation on even and uneven ground with a stiff or compliant exoskeleton\n\n\n16h30–16h45\nShort Talk 4: Jemina Fasola (EPFL\, Switzerland)\nAdaptation of postural strategies during standing in a locked-ankle passive exoskeleton\n\n\n\n\n\n\n16h50–17h30\nPodium discussion\nPromoting the provision and acceptance of assistive technologies \n\nArmin Curt\, Professor for Paraplegiology at the University of Zurich and Medical Director of the Spinal Cord Injury Center of the Balgrist University Hospital\nAmit Goffer\, President and CTO of UPnRIDE Robotics; founder of ReWalk Robotics\nStefan Honegger\, Head of Cash and In-Kind Benefits within the Invalidity Insurance Domain at the Swiss Federal Insurance Office\nRobert Riener\, Professor of Sensory-Motor Systems at ETH Zurich and Balgrist University Hospital; inventor and initiator of the CYBATHLON\nFranziska Ryser\, member of the Swiss National Council; doctoral student at ETH Zurich\nEffy Vayena\, Professor of Bioethics at ETH Zurich\n\n\n\n\n17h30–17h35\nClosing Words Day 1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCYBATHLON Symposium 2020 Day 2\, September 18\, 2020\nAll Times CEST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime\nProgramme\n\n\n\n\n13h00–13h10\nOpening Day 2\, including welcome message by Roland Sigrist\n\n\n13h15–13h55\nCuntai Guan\, PhD (Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore)\nBrain-Computer Interface for brain Function Recovery in Stroke Rehabilitation (KEYNOTE)\n\n\n14h00–14h15\nShort Talk 5: Xiaoxi Wei (Imperial College London\, UK)\nEEG BCI decoding with deep transfer learning to reduce user training time\n\n\n14h20–15h00\nAntonio Bicchi\, PhD (Italian Institute of Technology & University of Pisa\, Italy)\nFrom Collaborative Robotics to Prosthetics and Rehab: How Soft Tech is Changing the Game (KEYNOTE)\n\n\n15h05–15h20\nShort Talk 6: Mathilde Legrand (Sorbonne University\, France)\nMovement-based control of multiple degrees of freedom for upper-limb prostheses\n\n\n15h25–16h05\nInteractive Poster Session (interaction in individual zoom rooms and via Twitter)\n\n\n16h10–16h50\nHelen Huang\, PhD (North Carolina State U & U of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, USA)\nNeural Control of Robotic Prostheses (KEYNOTE)\n\n\n16h55–17h10\nShort Talk 7: Joost Geeroms (Vrije Universiteit Brussels\, Belgium)\nDevelopment of the CYBERLEGs X-Leg: Lessons from active prosthetics research\n\n\n17h15–17h30\n\nShort Talk 8: Marcello Ienca (ETH Zurich\, Switzerland)\nEthical design in rehabilitation engineering and health technology: moving from theory to practice\n\n\n17h30–17h35\nClosing Words Day 2\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
