At Gogoa Mobility Robots, we're proud to share a major milestone in the European project SuperHuman (SUPport Exo to Relief HUman Musculoskeletal fAtigue in maNufacturing): the first functional prototype of the exoskeleton is ready and undergoing real-world trials!
What is the SuperHuman project?
SuperHuman is an initiative funded by the European Union through EIT Manufacturing, bringing together tech centers, universities, and leading companies with a common goal: to develop an assistive exoskeleton that reduces musculoskeletal fatigue in industrial workers.
The consortium, led by partners like ART-ER, Bonfiglioli, CTAG, University of Bologna, and of course Gogoa Mobility Robots, aims to create real impact on workers’ health by supporting physically demanding tasks with ergonomic and adaptive technological solutions.
A key step: real-world trials in the field
This week marks a major achievement: the SuperHuman prototype is being tested in real working conditions with actual operators at MC’s facilities. This pilot testing phase allows us to assess:
Usability and ease of integration into the workplace.
Adaptability to different body types and morphologies.
Ergonomic effectiveness, evaluated through advanced postural and physical effort analysis.
Why does it matter?
Musculoskeletal disorders remain one of the leading causes of work-related absences in industrial sectors. With SuperHuman, we are investing in an active prevention solution that supports workers without compromising productivity or mobility.
At Gogoa, our expertise in wearable robotics and medical-grade exoskeletons has been key in developing the support system and defining safety and ergonomic standards.
What’s next?
With the first round of pilot data, we will continue refining the design and optimizing performance. This is just the beginning—SuperHuman is steadily moving toward becoming a real, effective tool to transform industrial environments into safer, more sustainable spaces for people.
More updates coming soon!
