CYBATHLON 2024 JURY AWARD
For the first time Jury Award was introduced at CYBATHLON 2024. One competing team from each of the 8 disciplines were honoured with the award. This award celebrated exceptional innovation, usability, and generalisation—crucial features of assistive technologies that extend far beyond competition tasks to truly impact daily life for people with disabilities.
The jury headed by Anna Knill, consisted of individuals with disabilities, researchers, and industry experts, carefully evaluated the teams’ devices based on qualification race observations and detailed background information provided by the teams. Awards were presented at the SWISS ARENA, acknowledging the teams' dedication and ingenuity.
