The project focuses on developing drone-assisted wheelchairs to ensure safe navigation in complex environments, contributing to improving the quality of life for people with disabilities.

Established and awarded by the Dalle Molle Foundation for Quality of Life, the prize aims to support innovative research projects focused on improving quality of life through the use of new technologies.

During the award ceremony, held in the multipurpose hall of the East Campus in Lugano-Viganello, the jury praised the project’s excellence for its “visionary yet practical approach,” capable of opening new research perspectives for quality of life and support for people with disabilities.

This recognition, in addition to the award received in 2023 for the REMIT project on tele-rehabilitation, reaffirms the Institute's commitment to developing cutting-edge solutions that break down barriers and promote social inclusion.
