Sensory-responsive wearable system with biometric-controlled adaptive actuation

A wearable garment comprising:

• a textile structure having a front portion and a rear portion;
• at least one soft-robotic actuator integrated into or disposed upon the textile structure;
• a control module comprising a microcontroller, driver circuitry, and at least one pneumatic pump;
• and
• a biometric sensor configured to provide physiological data to the control module,
• wherein the control module is configured to inflate or deflate the at least one soft-robotic actuator to provide adaptive compression based on the physiological data.

A method for providing adaptive compression using a wearable actuation system, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a biometric sensor, a physiological signal from a wearer;
• processing, by a microcontroller, the physiological signal to determine an actuation condition;
• actuating at least one pump and at least one valve to inflate or deflate an actuator integrated within a garment;
• and
• applying, by the actuator, adaptive compression to the wearer in response to the actuation condition.
