The Swiss National Competence Center of Research will host the first Cybathlon in Switzerland in October 2016. This 'Olympics for bionic athletes' will include races where competitors who are paralysed from the neck down control an avatar via a brain interface. There will also be races for those wearing arm or leg prosthetics, an exoskeleton race and a wheelchair race.

There will be two medals for each competition, one for the pilot and one for company that developed the device.
