GOGOA Announces the Completion of the EXO-RESCUE Project The Spanish exoskeleton developer GOGOA has completed the development of a semi-active (or would that be hybrid?) modular exoskeleton designed to assist with rescue services. The project's primary goals were to build and validate a fully operational prototype. The project was completed with financial support from the European Union and the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI). The devised exoskeleton, named EXO-RESCUE, is meant to support the user during situations that require lifting and transportation of heavy loads, facilitating rescue operations in emergencies like natural disasters and traffic accidents. The EXO-RESCUE project was a collaboration between Gogoa Mobility Robots (exo technology), IHS Weigling (electronics), and SPSI, the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (controls). Reportedly, the first concepts were initially digitally rendered in CAD and put through strenuous finite element analysis for durability and fit prior to lab and real-world testing of the assembled prototypes.
