The proposed system concept is organized into four main capability domains: Soldier Core and Soldier Extension, which address capabilities at the individual soldier level, and Team Core and Team Extension, which focus on network and coordination capabilities at the team level.
The project will be carried out in 12 Work Packages and in two phases: a first one that will conclude with the CDR gate (Critical Design Review) and a second one that will end with the demonstration and dissemination processes.
Contribution from GOGOA BIOENGINEERING
GOGOA will participate in the definition and coordination of the activity and will carry out the following tasks:
Define the concept of physical augmentation capability and deliver the conceptual description for the Preliminary Design Review (PDR), integrating and harmonizing all contributions.
Design the physical augmentation capability and deliver the design description for the Critical Design Review (CDR), in accordance with GOSSRA and with the corresponding compilation and harmonization of all contributions.

VIVELAB-EXO
ERGONOMICS PLATFORM ALLOWING SIMULATION OF EXOSKELETONS
Participants
Leader: CTAG.
Participants: Gogoa Mobility Robots, Vivetech, Farel.
Project type
EIT Manufacturing: Innovation - 2.2 Develop - Topic 2: Socially sustainable and human-centric manufacturing
Description
VIVELAB-EXO aims to introduce a new method for evaluating the suitability of an exoskeleton in a work environment through simulation. Current methods rely on conducting real-world tests in the factory or constructing test benches, processes that require significant investment, lengthy implementation times, and intensive use of resources. This is currently one of the main barriers to the adoption of exoskeletons in industry.
As an innovative approach, VIVELAB-EXO will allow exoskeletons to be modeled within the existing ergonomic simulation platform (VIVELAB-ERGO), enabling this evaluation to be carried out in a completely virtual environment, significantly reducing time and costs. ViVeTech, through its ViveLab Ergo platform, already offers solutions and consulting services for digital analysis and improvement of working conditions, efficiency, and operator productivity. The VIVELAB-EXO extension aims to provide tools to accelerate development, improve the application of these technologies, and facilitate the effective introduction of exoskeletons into manufacturing lines, reducing ergonomic risks, work-related difficulties, and injury-related costs, while simultaneously improving the overall well-being of workers and promoting workforce retention, especially among older workers.
Contribution from GOGOA BIOENGINEERING
GOGOA's role in this project is twofold. On the one hand, as an exoskeleton manufacturer, it provides its devices for the use cases and contributes to the calibration of the ergonomic simulation platform under development. On the other hand, as an end user of the VIVELAB-EXO platform, GOGOA has a direct interest in using the resulting tool to perform ergonomic assessments in a completely virtual environment, thereby reducing the time and costs involved.

Project type
Hazitek Competitive of the Basque Government - Business R&D Projects
Description
The AI-REHAB project aims to transform current robotic neurorehabilitation processes by integrating advanced artificial intelligence, biometric analysis, and state-of-the-art robotic systems. Its core purpose is to improve diagnostic accuracy, optimize treatment planning, and personalize rehabilitation programs for each patient.
The initiative addresses one of the most significant challenges in modern rehabilitation: the need to dynamically adapt treatment to the patient's clinical evolution. Through the use of AI algorithms, the aim is to generate models capable of interpreting motor and physiological patterns in real time, enabling:
To identify functional deficits more accurately.
Automatically adjust robotic assistance parameters.
Predict the progression of the rehabilitation process.
Design more effective and evidence-based interventions.
Furthermore, AI-REHAB is exploring new methodologies for using robotic systems to prevent frailty, both in clinical populations and in at-risk groups. This preventative approach leverages the ability of exoskeletons to promote controlled physical activity, improve strength and balance, and reduce the decline associated with aging or neurological conditions.
