SRI spins off Superflex

Nonprofit research and development organization SRI International said this week it has spun off a venture dubbed Superflex to develop cutting-edge wearable robotics.

Superflex technology was originally developed for the DARPA-funded "Warrior Web" program, the corporation said.

The new venture will be led by Rich Mahoney, who has spent more than seven years as the director of SRI Robotics. SRI said Superflex plans to announce its product focus by the end of the year.
