FlexSEA (What’s FlexSEA?) is a research project developed by Jean-François Duval for his Master’s thesis at the MIT Media Lab Biomechatronics group under the supervision of Prof. Hugh Herr. The goal was to provide a wearable robotics toolkit to the prosthetic design community. The hardware and software were released with an open source license to promote collaboration and quicken the advancement of science. Dephy, a privately owned company (independent from MIT) is now supporting the original project, as well as providing integrated solution for academic and industrial customers.
