Robotic Massage
December 16th, 2022
In Short
As the pace of work and life accelerates, more and more young people are facing sub-health and sports injury issues. Through muscle relaxation and meridian clearing, massage and physical therapy can help solve problems like muscle fatigue, pain, and stiffness. After the COVID-19 pandemic, people are paying more attention to their health management, making massage one of their frequent needs.
Now, there exist challenges in service standardization, personnel turnover and labor costs in the therapy industry, which leads to a strong need for automated and intelligent solutions that can provide customers with a comfortable, convenient, and even personalized experience while reducing costs.
Flexiv's robotic massage application blends tried-and-true traditional massage techniques with groundbreaking robotic technology, taking advantage of cutting-edge force control technology, AI, and an intuitive operation system. Employing techniques designed by professional physicians, it offers automated and intelligent massage, chiropractic, pain management, and sports rehabilitation to enhance the quality of people's lives.
3D vision + AI + force detection to precisely recognize spine area
Using 3D vision and AI, the spine area and key muscle groups are identified; then the robot presses the back like a human hand, detects the specific spine location, and determines the massage area via real-time force sensing.
High-precision force control for smooth adherence and body following
During the massage, the robot's high-precision force control ability allows it to smoothly conform to the body surface and perform pressing, kneading, pushing, acupoint massage, or other techniques, offering a comfortable sensation. When the body slightly moves or changes posture, the robot's end effector can follow in real-time and maintain stable pressure.
Convenient deployment for various massage devices and scenarios
The application is widely applicable to soft tissues of the human waist, back, shoulders, neck, and other areas. It can be paired with different therapeutic tools and a customized human-machine interface for rapid deployment in required spaces.
Powerful knowledge engine for a customized experience
With the accumulation of personal data from clients, artificial intelligence will combine knowledge from both Chinese and Western medicine for data analysis, providing customized therapeutic plans, and thereby better empowering physicians.
