Inada Robo Massage Chair

Surpasses human hands.

A hybrid of the mechanical and AI with second finger joints that realizes "massage comfort"

The ultimate goal of a massage chair is to catch up with and surpass professional human massage techniques. In order to realize this, there is a need to reproduce the movements of human hands and surpass human massage techniques. In pursuit of "massage comfort that surpasses human hands," FAMILY INADA started learning from human beings at an early stage and continued research on the movement of human hands, finally succeeding in the development of a mechanism having first and second finger joints.

What is required next is the rhythm of movement. When a professional massage practitioner performs a massage, the rhythm varies according to muscle stiffness and difference in physical constitution and the massage is performed on those having stiff muscles and not just in a strong manner but deeply and slowly, and once unstiffened, changing to rhythmic movements. Like with any industry, there are good professional massage practitioners and poor ones, and this difference is due to technique. While humans can control their hand movements by their intelligence, our massage robots can master and reproduce subtle movements as if professional massage practitioner is performing a massage with a hybrid of "mechanism reproducing hands" and "AI" to realize comfort and a soothing feeling just like human hands.

The AI hybrid mechanism won the battle with humans!

A hybrid of the mechanical and AI with second finger joints that realizes "massage comfort"

Robo was born from the concept of "surpassing human hands." The AI hybrid mechanism has made serious inroads in the manipulative therapy of long experienced massage professionals, and has finally come out on top.

"Surveys on massage" were conducted from among 616 men and women in their twenties to seventies, and 30 surveys were extracted from them to conduct qualitative research in a comparison of technique and comfort between practitioners and ROBO. After receiving a 15-minute massage of the neck and shoulders, lower back, arms, and soles and calves, areas were evaluated and a comprehensive evaluation in consideration of convenience, etc., was scored out of 100 points.

AI detect muscle stiffness and massage according to your physical condition.

According to muscles's shape and size of the person receiving the massage and the level of muscle stiffness at that moment in time, the artificial intelligence mechanism adjusts the massage operation to optimal strength and time. The speed of movement of the rollers are controlled according to the load received from the rollers during a massage, so that stiffened areas are massaged deeply and slowly, and once unstiffened, massage rhythically.

Five-finger kneading massage

Air cells gently hold forearms to unstiffen the entire arm.

The mechanism moves at a maximum stroke of approx. 17cm so that shiatsu points can be massaged regardless of height difference.

Choose massaging area

After choosing a massage course, you can choose places you want to skip.

Neck, shoulder, shoulder blades, lower back, arms, calves, soles

Five-finger kneading massage

The mechanism moves to the optimal positions,
directed at the main shiatsu points.

Entire calves are loosened by up-and-down movements while largely taking hold of the calves. The mechanism automatically moves to perform an accurate massage, directed at the main shiatsu points. The AI hybrid mechanism reproduces a professional massage practitioner's way of massaging in the orbit of the mechanism, moving up and down, left and right, and back and forth like human hands.

3D sole layer Shiatsu massage

The feet are massaged and loosened as if being held.
In addition, while moving up and down, the rollers massage and unstiffen the soles like kneading according to the size of the feet registered in advance.

Hold firmly so as to keep the feet from moving.

So as to fit the shiatsu points, the rollers move, turning inward and outward while applying pressure on the soles. As a professional massage practitioner performs massage, the feet are held down by air to prevent them from moving, and pressure is applied on the soles without dispersing power.
