Zac Vawter, 31, a victim of a motorcycle accident, had to cut one leg. He participated in the robotic laboratory program of the Chicago Rehabilitation Research Institute (RIC).

He drives his own robot to conquer the SkyRise building, Chicago, with 103 floors. This event marks the first successful step in synchronizing the mindset of users with devices mounted on the body. Vawter's thoughts about climbing the stairs will be conveyed to the prosthetic leg, making the apparatus work to help knees and ankles move.

He conquered the skyscraper within 45 minutes. The purpose of this event is to raise funds for the Chicago Rehabilitation Institute.
