Human Centric Embodied Intelligence for Soft Wearable Robotics

2026-08-04 · Rainier Natividad, Raye Chen-Hua Yeow arxiv

Soft wearable robots have evolved rapidly from proof-of-concept devices into promising platforms for rehabilitation, occupational assistance, and human augmentation. As the field matures, its central challenge extends beyond the development of softer materials and more capable actuators to the integration of sensing, intelligence, and human adaptation into systems that users can wear comfortably, trust, and benefit from over extended periods. This transition motivates the concept of Human-Centric Embodied Intelligence (HCEI), in which intelligence emerges from the coupled human-robot system through the interaction of morphology, multimodal sensing, adaptive cognition, compliant actuation, and the wearer's own physiological and behavioral adaptation. To organize this perspective, this review introduces the Perception-Cognition-Actuation-Augmentation (PCAA) framework, which positions perception and cognition as the primary drivers of design, shifting development beyond the conventional actuator-first paradigm. Using this framework, the review synthesizes advances in soft materials, wearable sensing, artificial intelligence, actuation, human-robot interaction, digital twins, clinical translation, manufacturing, regulation, and ethics, highlighting how these interdependent components collectively shape long-term personalization and real-world deployment. By providing a unified conceptual framework and design perspective, this review aims to guide future research, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and accelerate the translation of next-generation soft wearable robots toward personalized, predictive, and human-centric wearable intelligence.
