ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Why you should listen

Eythor Bender is the CEO of Berkeley Bionics, which augments humans with wearable, powered and artificially intelligent devices called exoskeletons or "wearable robots." User of the HULC (Human Universal Load Carrier) can carry up to 200 pounds for hours and over all terrains. eLEGS, an exoskeleton for wheelchair users, powers paraplegics up to get them standing and walking.

Bender has fostered innovation with bionic and orthopedic technologies throughout his career, taking them from unconventional approaches to sustainable, FDA-approved products that help individuals participate in their community. Such was the case with the boomerang-shaped prosthesis Cheetah Flex-Foot by Ossur, worn by the history-making bilateral amputee Oscar Pistorius. Bender's team fought for, and won, Pistorius' right to compete in the Olympics.

Ejtur Bender iz „Berkli Bajotroniksa” predstavlja dva neverovatna egzoskeletona, HULC i eLEGS - robotizovane dodatke koji bi jednoga dana mogli omogućiti ljudima da nose 90 kilograma bez zamaranja, ili koji bi omogućili korisnicima invalidskih kolica da stoje i hodaju. Ovo je impresivna demonstracija na sceni, sa implikacijama po ljudske potencijale svih vrsta.
