- "Global Innovation Challenge 2023" invita a participar en el "Concurso de Robots de Asistencia a la Vida" diseñados para ayudar a las personas con discapacidad a "caminar de forma independiente"

TOKIO, 11 de noviembre de 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- El Global Innovation Challenge Executive Committee (en lo sucesivo denominado "GIC Executive Committee") con sede en Tokio, se complace en anunciar que el "Concurso de Robots de Asistencia a la Vida Global Innovation Challenge 2023" (en lo sucesivo, "Concurso GIC") se celebrará el próximo año en el "Centro de Innovación GIC Tsukuba", en la ciudad de Tsukuba, prefectura de Ibaraki, Japón, con un premio total de 1.000.000 de dólares estadounidenses.

El concurso se celebrará en mayo-junio de 2023 para apoyar a investigadores y desarrolladores de todo el mundo con el objetivo de aportar herramientas innovadoras que permitan a las personas que viven en sillas de ruedas con discapacidades como la parálisis "caminar de forma independiente" (*) sin la ayuda de un cuidador, y hacer uso de sus funciones residuales.

(*) A efectos de este concurso, se entiende por caminar de forma independiente la capacidad de una persona con una discapacidad como la parálisis de caminar sin la ayuda de otras personas o sin el uso de una silla de ruedas.

Las inscripciones se aceptarán hasta el 31 de marzo de 2023, antes del concurso. El organizador espera recibir muchas solicitudes de personas interesadas. Para más detalles, consulte las directrices para la presentación de solicitudes en el sitio web oficial. https://global-innovation-challenge.com/en/event_and_project/2023/GIC2023.html     

Antecedentes del concurso:
El número de personas que necesitan asistencia en su vida diaria debido al envejecimiento, la enfermedad o los accidentes está aumentando en todo el mundo. Aunque tanto los cuidadores como los receptores de la asistencia están sometidos a una serie de cargas mentales, físicas y financieras, el desarrollo de robots para el sector asistencial es un ámbito en el que resulta difícil invertir porque el mercado no es lo suficientemente amplio.

El desarrollo de las infraestructuras públicas y el fomento de la accesibilidad sin barreras han hecho posible que las personas con movilidad limitada vivan su vida cotidiana solas si disponen de una silla de ruedas, pero siguen teniendo limitaciones en sus actividades fuera de un entorno bien desarrollado. El organizador cree que un robot de apoyo para caminar que pueda utilizarse tanto en interiores como en exteriores sin preocuparse por la accesibilidad sin barreras permitiría a las personas con discapacidades disfrutar más de su vida.

El concurso GIC se convoca con el objetivo de que las personas que viven en silla de ruedas con discapacidades, como la parálisis de las extremidades inferiores, puedan "caminar de forma independiente" sin ayuda humana, haciendo uso de las funciones que les quedan, mediante el desarrollo de herramientas innovadoras.

Comentario de Tatsufumi Kamimura, Presidente del Comité Ejecutivo de GIC: "Esta será la segunda vez que se celebre el concurso. En 2021, el concurso tuvo que celebrarse en línea debido a la pandemia de COVID-19, pero el próximo concurso, en la primavera de 2023, se celebrará en el Centro de Innovación de GIC Tsukuba, en un campo de concurso que se asemejará a una casa normal. Los miembros del comité están deseando ver qué nuevas tecnologías se crearán también en esta ocasión. Esperamos recibir muchas inscripciones de muchos países".
