"Christian will make a presentation on "Participation in Cybathlon - how does the success happen".

Bermes and a joint team of students and project engineers HSR Enchansed spent 10 months developing a ZED racing chair for paralyzed pilot Florian Hauser. The result of this painstaking work was the Gold Medal in the "Powered Wheelchair Race " discipline at the first Cybathlon competition in Zurich in 2016.

During his presentation at the RoboSector-2018, Christian will present the technical details of the designed chair, as well as key factors that allowed the team to succeed. In addition, the professor share the further steps and perspectives of the team at Cybathlon in 2020.

Within the framework of the presentation, Christian Bermes will also talk about exo-skeleton - another example of a complex project that unites different Universities and different specialists for achieving the result.
