The world of CYBATHLON is full of interesting people and technology - and in this video we introduce you to some of both (and also a robot that is a little clingy). With this, maxon says goodbye from the Cybathlon 2024 and a big THANK YOU to all the people that made the Cybathlon possible. maxon was proud to be a gold sponsor!

Day 3 at the CYBATHLON started with the exoskeleton-race. It needs patience to steer an exoskeleton, as pilot Jessica Dibady explains in the interview with us. She is part of the team RISE - TU Berlin (Research and innovation in student exoskeleton development) from Technische Universität Berlin, whose team-leader Lukas Schneidewind points out how their device functions. The team works with drive technology from maxon, provided by maxon germany.

He is a true veteran of the CYBATHLON: Pilot Christophe Huchet from the team SmartARM. In the interview with us Christophe explains that he needs eight muscles to move the arm and what the difference is between a competition like the Cybathlon and the everyday use. Christophe was here together with Nathanael Jarrassé and his team from ISIR - Institut des Systèmes Intelligents et de Robotique at Sorbonne Université. The SmartARM is moved by maxon drives and the team has a long collaboration history with maxon France.

Second day at the CYBATHLON 2024. Let us introduce you to Bert Pot. He had a tough race today in the Arm Prothesis qualification. Together with Luis Felipe García Arias from the team CybaNorth of University of Groningen he speaks about his arm prothesis and how he even uses it in everday life. Oh and by the way: This device is powered by two drives from maxon. CybaNorth Team maxon benelux Video: Henry Maurer

Pilot Etienne Moullet had a very successful run at the CYBATHLON qualification. In the interview with us he explains how his assistive wheelchair works. Etienne is a member of the team SmartArM from ISIR - Institut des Systèmes Intelligents et de Robotique from Sorbonne Université. The team is supported by maxon. This is the last interview of today, but the Cybathlon continues tomorrow - stay tuned.

She is the Co-Head of the Cybathlon: Annegret Kern. In the interview with us Anni speaks about how the CYBATHLON 2024 has started, what she hears from the athletes and the teams - and how the collaboration with maxon works. ETH Zürich
