Superhumans: Inside the world's first cyborg games
Thousands of miles from the drama of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one man has been quietly plotting his own competition; a previously impossible event melding human and machine. His name is Robert Reiner, and next month, in Zurich, Switzerland, he'll host the world's first Cybathlon, aka the "Cyborg Olympics." The competition, while focused on individuals with disabilities, isn't a me-too Paralympics. Instead, the Cybathlon will pit the world's most advanced bionic assistive technologies against each other in an obstacle course of everyday tasks. With the help of exoskeletons, state-of-the-art prosthetics and all-terrain wheel chairs, they have surpassed the realm of the strictly biological to become superhuman.
