Aviator allows people to harness the freedom of their mind to overcome the limitations of their body
Aviator is a venture spun out of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia.
Leveraging UTS’ proprietary software around thought classification for controlling electronic devices, the venture is developing a wheelchair control solution to respond to the needs of the severely disabled and paralysed.
Aviator aims to improve quality of life through increased independence and mobility.
Functional limitations and activity restrictions associated with SCI, stroke, traumatic brain injuries, congenital disorders such as spina bifida, muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy, and balance disorders can have serious negative consequence for a person’s quality of life and can often lead to conditions like depression.
For many individuals these feelings of sadness and worthlessness are a direct result of their lack of mobility and control over their surroundings. At Aviator, we aim to provide solutions to a pressing challenge facing our society today – improving the quality of life for individuals living with severe disability by placing these people back into the pilot seat.
