The contest will be held in May-June 2023 to support researchers and developers from all over the world with the aim of bringing innovative tools that enable people living in wheelchairs with disabilities such as paralysis to "walk independently" (*) without the assistance of a caregiver, and to make use of their residual functions.
(*) For the purpose of this contest, independent walking is defined as the ability of a person with a disability such as paralysis to walk without the assistance of others or without the use of a wheelchair.
Entries will be accepted until March 31, 2023, ahead of the contest. The organizer looks forward to receiving many applications from people concerned. For details, please see the application guidelines on the official website.
