CYBATHLON 2020 Global Edition
The CYBATHLON is a unique championship in which people with physical disabilities compete against each other to complete everyday tasks using state-of-the-art technical assistance systems. The first competition was launched by ETH Zurich in 2016. On 13-14 November 2020, the Cybathlon will be held in a new format: teams from all over the world will pit their skills in the same six disciplines as before, yet from locations across the globe. Instead of going head-to-head on parallel tracks, the pilots will tackle the courses at their home bases, and film their races. Footage will then be assembled and broadcast from Zurich via an online platform. You can find more information on the Cybathlon 2020 Global Edition on the Cybathlon website.
