Miami's newest massage therapist won't judge your physique or bother you with any small talk — because it's a robot.
- 😌 The robot simulates the touch techniques of a massage therapist, imitating a human thumb, a cupped hand, an elbow and other methods, Axios Miami's Martin Vassolo reports.
- Customers wear a special full-body compression suit to enable the robot arms — which are heated to 95 degrees — to more easily glide over their bodies.
- A touchscreen can adjust the table, the pressure of the massage, even the music.
