Sensitivity and accuracy as key aspects of the massage robot
The three partners and their team developed a prototype of the iYU by the end of 2018, which was able to replicate the morphology of a real person and carry out a professional massage. “The LBR Med played an indispensable part in this, because it can implement the different massage programs safely and flexibly,” emphasizes Eyssautier. A crucial aspect here is the robot’s high sensitivity, which ensures that it applies the pressure exactly and also acts extremely safely when doing so.
