About
Yeong Jin Choi is pioneering the frontier of soft wearable robotics, with a focus on developing compliant, fabric-based actuation systems for human augmentation and rehabilitation. Her most cited work introduces a soft wearable robotic garment that employs cell-structured fabric pneumatic artificial muscles (cfPAMs) to support lumbar muscle function and correct postural alignment—a breakthrough that marries lightweight, flexible materials with robust mechanical support. In parallel, Choi has advanced the field of soft electromagnetic sliding actuators, creating microfluidic conductive coil arrays that enable highly compliant planar motions, opening new possibilities for soft, untethered robotic systems. With over 10 citations across her top papers, her research is gaining traction for its potential to transform assistive devices and human-robot interaction. Notably, her work on fabric-based actuators has been recognized for its innovative use of thermoplastic polyurethane-coated nylon fabrics, demonstrating a unique blend of material science and mechanical engineering. Choi’s contributions are shaping the next generation of wearable technologies that are both functional and comfortable.
