The mission
Cybathlon acts as a platform that challenges teams from all over the world to develop assistive technologies suitable for everyday use with and for people with disabilities.
Our challenge
People with a severe visual impairment or complete loss of vision lack the most basic information about their environment, which limits their autonomy in completing many activities of daily living. New technologies such as an intelligent white cane help to provide information about the environment that is otherwise accessed through vision by rendering the information to the available senses, such as touch or hearing.
Our vision
We want to make a valuable impact on new technologies for assistance systems with our innovative solution. The development will be done in direct contact with blind or visually impaired people.
A unique new designed solution
Developed in close cooperation with the end user
Union of three leading research institutions
Task Triumphs
We delve into the various tasks our pilot will face during the race. Each task represents real-world challenges encountered by individuals with disabilities, showcasing the effectiveness and adaptability of our cutting-edge assistive technologies in overcoming these obstacles.
Description
Navigating the Last Mile: Locating the correct entrance to a building and identifying the appropriate doorbell on a panel can be daunting for blind individuals. Our solution aims to help users effortlessly find their way to the right door and doorbell.
Challenge
Accurately detecting and guiding users to the correct entrance and doorbell among multiple options, especially in unfamiliar environments.
The sponsors
We proudly present our partners without whom such a project would never be possible.
