Rüdiger's Projects:

Robert, representing the startup Upstair, introduced their stair-climbing transport chair. The chair, designed to alleviate back pain for rescue and care workers, can transport patients through tight spaces, ramps, and spiral staircases with minimal effort. It operates autonomously, detecting pressure at the handle through a pressure cell.
