In a world where technology is advancing at lightning speed, it's inspiring to witness the boundaries between what's possible and what's impossible blur each day. In this vein of innovation, we are excited to announce the collaboration between Gogoa and 7Sense, two leaders in their respective fields, to develop the market for haptic technology applied to the perception of the environment by visually impaired individuals. The partnership between the Estonian StartUp, 7Sense, and Gogoa has led to a truly revolutionary advancement: the application of 3D scanning technology of the environment, combined with artificial intelligence, to translate captured images into points of pressure and vibration. This process allows visually impaired individuals to physically feel what's happening around them, providing a tactile experience that, until recently, seemed straight out of science fiction. This breakthrough not only has the potential to improve the quality of life for visually impaired individuals but also represents the creation of a new sense: the seventh. This sense redefines the relationship between blind individuals and their environment, offering a new way to perceive the world around them. It's no longer just about "seeing" or "not seeing" but about experiencing and understanding through touch. Imagine being able to walk down a busy street and feel the vibrations indicating the presence of other pedestrians, detect obstacles before stumbling upon them, or even experience the texture of objects around you simply by touching them. This is what Gogoa and 7Sense's haptic technology makes possible: it transforms images of the environment into tactile sensations, creating a complete and enriching sensory experience for visually impaired individuals. This collaboration between Gogoa and 7Sense represents a significant milestone on the path to inclusion and equal opportunities for individuals with visual impairments. By providing an innovative tool that enables them to access and understand their environment more fully, we are breaking down barriers and building a more inclusive world for everyone. In summary, the union of Gogoa and 7Sense is marking a before and after in the development of haptic technology applied to the perception of the environment by visually impaired individuals. This exciting advancement not only represents a technical achievement but also a step forward towards a world where diversity and inclusion are fully celebrated and supported.

In the world of adapted sports, perseverance and willpower are qualities that stand out among athletes. But there are cases that go beyond, cases that inspire and motivate all those facing similar challenges. Miguel Ángel Sabalaga Rivera is one of those exceptional cases, and today we are proud to announce that he has become the first official ambassador for both Gogoa and Movex Clinics. Miguel Ángel has traversed a path full of obstacles and challenges since a tragedy changed his life forever. A few years ago, while at work, a crane fell on him, bending his body in half. In that instant, he noticed one leg felt nothing, and gradually, the sensation in the other leg faded until he felt nothing at all. This tragic incident resulted in a T12 ASIA D spinal cord injury of traumatic etiology, leaving Miguel Ángel with a series of spinal and medullary injuries challenging his ability to move and his life in general. However, he found a ray of hope in the robotic neurorobotics clinics of Movex Clinics. Here, with the help of cutting-edge technology and the unwavering support of a dedicated team, he began his journey to recovery. Despite the immense challenges he faced, Miguel Ángel clung to unwavering determination and unwavering faith in his ability to overcome this adversity. In Miguel Ángel's own words as he rehabilitated with us: "Getting up from the chair was like seeing my child being born." These words summarize the enormity of his achievement and the emotion that accompanied every step of his progress. As he immersed himself in the rehabilitation process, he discovered a new strength within himself, a strength that carried him beyond what he ever believed possible. His commitment to personal improvement did not stop at the clinic. Miguel Ángel is passionate about sports, and through handbike, he has found a way to express his determination and skill. With remarkable skill, he often reaches the podium in every competition he participates in, especially excelling with silver medals. Despite the physical limitations imposed by his injury, Miguel Ángel has exceeded expectations and has demonstrated time and time again his ability and dedication to sport and life itself. His calendar is filled with exciting challenges: from the athletics track to the most prestigious marathons, such as those in Seville, Barcelona, Madrid, and Jaén, as well as half marathons in the Spanish capital. Additionally, he competes in diverse locations such as Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona), Madrid, the Basque Country, and the Canary Islands. Most inspiring of all is that Miguel Ángel not only competes for himself but also carries the banner of overcoming and human potential. As the official ambassador of Gogoa and Movex Clinics, he represents the fundamental values of perseverance and indomitable spirit. When the therapist tells you they can't do anymore, this 'frame' becomes your second body and allows you to look out the window," reflects Miguel Ángel on his experience with rehabilitation technology. It is a touching testimony of how technology can not only restore physical mobility but also uplift the human spirit. Miguel Ángel has achieved something truly extraordinary by becoming a symbol of hope and overcoming for many. At Gogoa and Movex Clinics, we are proud to support people like him, whose stories of overcoming remind us of the infinite capacity of the human being to face challenges and triumph over adversity. His dedication and passion are a reminder that, with determination and proper support, there are no limits to what we can achieve. Additionally, we want to celebrate his recent achievement in Seville as our ambassador, where he achieved an official time of 2 hours, 10 minutes, and 5 seconds, covering a total of 42.51 km. It is an exceptional time, and we are delighted to congratulate him on his incredible achievement! - Miguel Ángel Sabalaga Embajador Gogoa Movex Clinics

In an exciting step towards more effective and personalized neurorehabilitation, Gogoa Mobility Robots is on the verge of changing the landscape with its innovative development based on the theory of Central Pattern Generators (CPGs). These CPGs, described as neural networks that endogenously generate rhythmic patterns, represent a significant milestone in the understanding and application of neuroengineering to improve mobility in patients with neurological injuries. Picture this: at the beginning of the robotic neurorehabilitation process, when you engage with an exoskeleton, you're following a predetermined gait pattern, a sort of guide for your movements. But then, as your walking ability improves and your gait becomes more natural, that's when the GCP-based controllers come into play. This innovative control system adapts to your unique gait pattern, inspired by the natural movement of your body, providing personalized and precise assistance tailored to your specific needs. Having GCP-inspired control represents a revolutionary advancement in applied neuroengineering. Although this development has not yet been integrated into HANK, Gogoa Mobility Robots' flagship exoskeleton, it is expected to be soon, taking robot-assisted rehabilitation to a new level of effectiveness and personalization. The scientific foundation behind CPGs dates back over 50 years, when they were discovered in invertebrate animals by pioneering researchers like Wiersma, Hughes, and Wilson in the 1960s. Subsequent studies revealed that these neural generators are capable of producing coordinated motor patterns without relying on external sensory inputs, challenging previous conceptions about the need for proprioceptive feedback for the generation of complex movements. Figure 1. Coordinated motor outputs in leg nerves for swimming in the abdominal nerve chain of the crayfish. A. Three cycles of motor outputs from the pair of legs on the left and right sides of an abdominal segment. B. Eight simultaneous recordings showing two cycles of firing in axons innervating four pairs of legs in four abdominal segments. (Mulloney and Smarandache, 2010) The demonstration of "fictive motor patterns" in invertebrate preparations was crucial in understanding the endogenous nature of rhythmic pattern generation. This phenomenon, where motor neurons generate activity similar to what they would produce in vivo even in the absence of sensory inputs, provided solid evidence of the autonomy of CPGs in producing coordinated movements. The initial surprise at the discovery of CPGs lay in the prevailing belief that the generation of complex motor patterns required peripheral sensory information. However, further research revealed that these neural generators are capable of handling a variety of rhythmic behaviors, including locomotion, swimming, and breathing, in both invertebrates and mammals. Figure 2. Mechanisms of rhythmicity in the central pattern generator. a) Network-based rhythmicity (heartbeat rhythm generator of the leech). The network (top left) consists of a ring of six interconnected neurons with reciprocal inhibitory synapses. Neuron pairs 3 and 4 are particularly important as each forms a medio-central oscillator. Neurons in each pair discharge in antiphase (top right), while neurons 1 and 2 form a coordinated coupling between the medio-centers of neuron 3 and neuron 4; the network produces a two-phase pattern in which opening and closing neurons discharge in antiphase (left). Arrows indicate slow depolarization that allows the off-neuron to escape inhibition. Modified from Marder and Calabrese (1996). b) The pyloric network of the lobster is driven by an endogenous oscillatory neuron. Left, the complement of the neuronal network and synaptic interconnectivity (inhibitory synapses, stick-ball connectors; electrical coupling, resistors; rectifying electrical coupling, diode). Neuron AB is an endogenous oscillator and in most cases is the rhythmic driver of the network. Input to neuron AB induces post-inhibitory rebound and plateau in its follower neurons and as a consequence of these effects and interactions between follower neurons, the network produces a multifase rhythmic neural output (right). Neurons, VD, ventricular dilator; PL, late pyloric; PE, early pyloric. The application of this knowledge in clinical settings has revolutionized the rehabilitation of neurological injuries, especially in patients with spinal cord injuries. CPGs offer a new perspective on movement generation, showing that neural rhythmicity can be induced through interactions between neurons in neural networks or through interactions between ionic currents in individual neurons. Understanding the mechanisms underlying rhythmic pattern generation has led to the development of computational and experimental models that have revealed the complexity and flexibility of CPGs in producing multiple output patterns. This versatility offers promising potential for personalizing mobility assistance in neurorehabilitation, dynamically adapting to the individual needs and capabilities of each patient. The integration of GCP-inspired controls into mobility assistance devices such as Gogoa Mobility Robots' HANK exoskeleton represents an exciting step forward in the practical application of this groundbreaking theory. By offering personalized and adaptable assistance based on each individual's unique gait pattern, GCPs are poised to transform the way neurological rehabilitation is approached, paving the way for more effective and satisfying recovery for patients. For more information on the scientific basis behind this development, you can refer to the following links: http://www.facmed.unam.mx/Libro-NeuroFisio/FuncionesGenerales/CPGs/CPGs.html In summary, Central Pattern Generator-based controllers represent a crucial innovation in neurorehabilitation, based on decades of scientific research that has revealed the intrinsic ability of the nervous system to generate coordinated movements. With their clinical application and integration into mobility assistance devices, GCP-based controllers promise to significantly improve the quality of life for patients with neurological injuries, offering hope and opportunities for more complete and functional recovery. - Central Pattern Generators Controllers by GOGOA
