SuperFlexTM
Soft Biofidelic Actuated Exosuit
Biofidelic Actuated Exosuit
Novel compliant, flexible
robotic components combined
with a simple under-actuated
architecture and biomimetic
control to enable a soft,
comfortable and lightweight
wearable designed for
performance enhancement
and injury mitigation.

FlexControlTM
Adaptive state-based controller delivers “super reflexes”, adjusts to varying terrain, and uses an intuitive digital user interface
Compliant Biofidelic Robotic ExosuitSRI is developing wearable “exosuit” that can augment the
musculoskeletal system for performance and strength enhancement
and assistance to overcome or prevent damage from injury or disease.
SRI’s exosuit differs from current exoskeletons by using new muscle-like
actuation, comfortable and soft skin attachment, and electronically
releasable spring elements to store energy minimize mass, bulk,
and noise, as well as eliminate constraints on natural joint motions.
Inspired by SRI work performed for DARPA’s Warrior Web Program,
the technology is being applied to prevent and reduce musculoskeletal
injuries caused by dynamic events. Currently SRI is focusing on using
the technologies to assist individuals with musculoskeletal diseases.
e-FlexTM
Lightweight, flexible electrostatically clutched springs act as variable stiffness “exotendons” to adaptively store energy and limit range of motion to prevent injury or fatigue
FlexDriveTM
Lightweight, conformal, high-torque and efficient exomuscles assist the body’s own muscles in a very natural way
FlexGripTM
Flexible, comfortable load transfer between the suit and the body
