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
