The mobile robot EDAN (EMG-controlled daily assistant) is an assistive robotics system for people with severe motor impairments. The robot is controlled using muscle signals. Its integrated shared-autonomy capabilities facilitate everyday tasks such as drinking from a glass.
Robots can't replace human caregivers but can support them. EDAN, a wheelchair with a robotic arm from the German Aerospace Center, joins CYBATHLON 2024! We eagerly look forward to their participation: cybathlon.ethz.ch/en/search/de...
