In view of the current national and international situation it has been decided not to proceed with the CYBATHLON 2020 in its original format on 19–20 September 2020. After consulting the participating teams, the decision was made together by the ETH Zurich and the CYBATHLON Organising Committee.

Many companies have replaced manual labour with machines and robots. However, there are still many jobs where full automation is not possible or simply not desired. Auxivo, an ETH spin-​off from the Rehabilitation Engineering Lab, develops exoskeletons for industrial applications to support workers who frequently lift and carry heavy objects.
