One of my favorite parts of a massage is fully relaxing and almost just detaching from my brain and trusting that this pro touching me knows what they are doing.
I don’t think I’d be able to relax with a robot rubbing me like that. It needs to have enough strength to do the work, which almost certainly means it can hurt me. Hard pass.
Yeah, I don’t trust that style of robot. Unless I’m mistaken, that’s an industrial grade robot meant for things like manufacturing lines. It’s not designed to be operated on/near humans. I would bet it has enough power in its joints to kill or severely maim a person.
Machines doing these sorts of operations on humans either need ludicrous safety measures, (like you would find on million dollar medical machinery,) or compliance engineering so that even if the machine malfunctions no harm is likely. I highly doubt their off the shelf machine has been modified in either way to make it truly safe.
