Description:

Seismic produces and develops custom garments with built-in flexible electric motors that help the wearer with everyday tasks. Seismic has hired a team of leaders in textiles, industrial design, robotics, biomechanics, and data science to develop the new category of Powered Clothing: lightweight, connected apparel, comfortably worn under any outfit, with integrated electric “muscles” that add intelligent wearable strength and natural mobility to muscles and joints, enabling everyone — from seniors to athletes, to people with a wide range of physical disabilities — to achieve their full physical potential. Seismic technology was originally developed at SRI International for a DARPA-funded program to reduce injury risk and enhance soldier endurance. Recognizing its profound application beyond the military, Seismic spun out of SRI to explore the technology for a wide range of consumer applications, starting with the aging market because of the size of the opportunity and the need this population faces.
