CYBATHLON 2024

The team's BCI strategy is based on the concept of mutual learning, where both the user and the computer learn from each other to enhance performance. The EEG-based BCI leverages the pilot's ability to control sensorimotor rhythms, particularly those related to imagined foot movements.

The RPwheel24 is the third prototype in the RPwheel Series, designed for versatile mobility with omni-wheels, crawlers, and a unique scissor mechanism to handle rough terrain, narrow spaces, and lift-up barriers. Equipped with a lightweight robotic arm for daily tasks, this wheelchair aims to reach commercial standards in the future.

The Sight Guide Alpha is a cutting-edge navigation system that uses sensor technology and real-time mapping to aid visually impaired people in navigating their environment. Compact and user-friendly, it provides intuitive feedback, marking a significant advancement in assistive technology.

The WalkONSuit F1 is a powered exoskeleton designed by KAIST Exoskeleton Lab for persons with complete paraplegia, allowing them to wear it easily while seated in a wheelchair. With 12 degrees of freedom, it enables balance and direction changes without crutches and can also operate independently in "Humanoid mode."

The SoftFoot Pro is a fully passive, adaptive prosthetic foot designed to improve stability on uneven terrain, reducing the user’s mental burden and compensatory movements. Its flexible sole adapts to ground profiles, enhancing gait symmetry and lowering the risk of long-term issues, with plans to add an active ankle joint for more versatile use.

This FES-controlled recumbent trike uses electrical stimulation and advanced control systems to enable smooth, balanced cycling motion for pilots. Equipped with adjustable intensity and cadence settings, it can stimulate up to 12 muscle groups, with real-time feedback through an Android app for optimized training and performance.

Adam’s Hand® is the first fully-adaptive bionic hand that offers users an intuitive, natural control experience by simplifying grip patterns. With automatic finger flexion to fit various shapes and IP67 water and dust resistance, it provides an anthropomorphic, user-friendly design aimed at enhancing daily life for those using prosthetic hands.

The team is dedicated to creating an accessible, affordable robotic arm system using commercially available components, ensuring cost-effectiveness and quality. This user-friendly system, equipped with sensory and control features, empowers people with tetraplegia to regain independence.
