Sioux Technologies extends the cooperation with Project MARCH. The TU Delft student team, Project MARCH, develops an exoskeleton in annual iterations, with which they want to give mobility back to people with physical disabilities. This is where (medical) multidisciplinary high-tech meets social responsibility. The exoskeleton is an important step towards a future in which wheelchairs are disappeared from the streets.
The sponsorship consists partly of a financial contribution and partly of a substantive contribution. Sioux engineers are also making their time and expertise available to advise Project MARCH in the further development of the exoskeleton.
The Cybathlon
At the end of the academic year, the project will participate in the Cybathlon, the so-called Paralympic Bionic Games. In this competition, pilots in exoskeletons from international teams compete against each other. Within ten minutes they have to successfully complete various everyday actions. A good moment to reflect where we stand after one year. Team Project MARCH competes for the 1st prize every year.
