CYBATHLON Symposium, October 6, 2016

Brain-Computer Interfaces
Functional Electrical Stimulation
Powered Arm Prosthetics
Powered Leg Prosthetics
Powered Exoskeletons
Powered Wheelchairs

This scientific symposium featured six keynotes by leading researchers, eight short presentations by young talents as well as 49 posters/demos. A roundtable discussion involving end-users, patient and industry representatives and an ethics researcher highlighted opportunities and challenges in the field of assistive technology, its industrial transfer and user acceptance.
