Wearable gait assistive devices have been im-proved by soft robotics in terms of safety and physical burden of the wearer. Currently, electrical sensors and computers around the wearer are bottlenecks in enhancing the wearer's activities. In this paper, we present a wearable gait assistive system using soft pneumatic system for all the actuation, sensing, and computation. Pneumatic artifical muscl...
