Abstract
A massage machine for massaging a person's body comprising: a robot hand comprising a first digit and at least one second digit that is opposable to the first digit, wherein the first digit and at least one second digit are moveable towards and away from each other; and at least one digit actuator for moving the first digit towards and away from the at least one second digit to massage a region of the person's body to which at least one of the digits is pressed.
Claims31
A massage machine for massaging a person's body comprising:
- at least one massage applicator shaped to be pressed on a region of a person's body to massage the region;
- at least one first actuator for controlling motion of the at least one applicator;
- a support structure to which the at least one massage applicator is mounted moveable to position and orient the at least one applicator to massage different regions of the person's body;
- at least one second actuator that moves the support structure;
- a 3D vision system that generates data responsive to features of the person's body and positions of the features;
- and
- a computer that receives the data and controls the at least one first actuator and the at least one second actuator responsive to the 3D vision data to selectively control each of the applicators so as to massage at least one region of the person's body with at least one type massage motion.

A massage machine for massaging a person's body comprising:
- at least one robot hand comprising a first digit and at least one second digit wherein the first digit is opposable to each of the at least one second digit, which first and at least one second digit are moveable to simulate at least one massage motion of the human hand;
- at least one digit actuator that moves the first and at least one second digit;
- a support structure to which the at least one robot hand is mounted moveable to position and orient the at least one robot hand to massage different regions of the person's body;
- at least one motion actuator that moves the support structure;
- a 3D vision system that generates data responsive to features of the person's body and positions of the features;
- and
- a computer that receives the data and controls at least one of the at least one digit actuator and at least one motion actuator of a robot hand of the at least one robot hand responsive to the 3D vision data to massage at least one region of the person's body with at least one type massage motion that mimics a massage motion performed by a person.
