What does ETH Zurich contribute to accessibility, self-determination, and inclusion of people with physical disabilities –at ETH itself and in society? To what extent are people without disabilities also dependent on accessibility – in old age, after an accident, or on the road with a stroller? We look into the”Design for All” approach in the built, artificial environment and do a live presentation of a so-called robotic hand orthosis. Input presentations by the programme “Barrier-free at ETH Zurich” and the developer of an artificial active/robotic hand orthosis offer insights and invite dialogue. The event will be simultaneously subtitled in German.

Panelists:

• Dr. Romila Storjohann, Programme Manager “Barrier-free at ETH Zurich”
• Jan Dittli, PhD student ETH Zurich, Rehabilitation Engineering Lab, Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems, D-HEST
• Miriam Daepp, Moderation, Communication & PR Manager at the Competence Center for Rehabilitation Engineering & Science (RESC) ETH Zurich
