American college student explores human-centered tech in China's Greater Bay Area

Nicholas Edward Pfannkuche, a senior at Southern Illinois University in the U.S., is a passionate tech enthusiast. This winter, he made his first trip to China, visiting the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) as the region prepared for the 15th National Games, and discovered some remarkable technology.

"This is technology that truly empowers people," Nicholas said after seeing assistive devices designed for the National Paralympic Games. "Watching those robots seamlessly pull off complex moves is awesome!"
