Seismic™ Powered Clothing
Intelligent Wearable Strength™
Welcome to Seismic
Seismic™ Powered Clothing is a fusion of apparel and robotics, designed to reduce muscle strain and fatigue by providing your core with extra power and stability.
Lightweight, breathable and comfortable: our connected apparel is engineered with Flex-Drive™ electric muscles that align with your anatomical muscles to provide Intelligent Wearable Strength™.
A Seismic™ Shift in Worker Safety
The Seismic™ Suit is specifically designed for the Worker Safety market - an over-the-clothes vest-style garment inspired by traditional work-wear that can be quickly and easily be worn, with a tool belt form-factor hardware “carrier” at the waist.
The Suit has the power to automatically sense, respond and support workers when in awkward and hazardous postures, including standing, forward lean, backward lean, squatting, stooping, and kneeling while reducing fatigue and discomfort. The body core can be supported 100% when in standing, forward lean and backward lean - essentially suspending the wearer while in these sustained positions without any muscle engagement by the wearer to reduce strain to the body and prevent worker injury.

1. Integrated Modularity
The Mobi 2.0 system is composed of a component belt that housings containing the Flex-Drive™ electric muscles attach to, and is easily installed into the garment.
2. Neutral State
Once in place on the wearer, the twisted strings that live in the garment are attached to the component belt via Seismics’ “Multi-Connect” interface.
The Flex-Drive™ electric muscle is relaxed and loose.
3. Support Initiated
Based on the wearer’s posture and triggered by the wearer’s movements,
the Flex-Drive™ string bundle begins to twist and contract.
4. Support...Multiplied
Using a proprietary network of redirects and force multipliers, the torque of the small, lightweight motors is multiplied to fully support the wearer.
5. Support Engaged
Flex-Drive™ electric muscles are at full contraction: support is evenly distributed through the Suit, providing the wearer with comfortable strength and stability.
We strive to shape human potential through a new approach to wearable robotics
About Seismic
Seismic’s 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 Powered Clothing for a wide range of applications.
At the core of our culture is a human-centered, biomechanics informed design approach. Our design and development team, a unique hybrid of engineering and apparel design like no other ever assembled, includes: biomechanists, data scientists, product designers, software engineers, apparel designers, physical therapists and user experience designers, to name only a few.
