About Artech Ai Smart Fysioterapy-robot

Artech Ai Smart is in fysioterapy-robot ûntwurpen foar krekte en neifolgbere behanneling. In AI-fyzjesysteem identifisearret 70 akupunktuerpunten op 'e rêch en bout binnen 10 sekonden in trijediminsjonaal model. In seisdiminsjonaal krêftkontrôlesysteem soarget foar posysjonearring op millimeternivo en krekte krêftfeedback. Twa plug-and-play massaazjekopmodules simulearje knede- en druktechniken. In tûke suveringskeamer mei in UVC-sterilisaasjesysteem hâldt it apparaat hygiënysk sûnder gemyske skjinmakmiddels. It modulêre lichem is makke fan recyclebere aluminiumlegearring en ABS fan medyske kwaliteit.

Unique Properties: The robot, centered around digitization, precision, intelligence, safety, immersion, and healing, offers users a scientific, quantifiable, and traceable health recovery solution. An AI vision system identifies 70 acupuncture points on the back and constructs a 3D model within 10s. A six dimensional force control system enables millimeter level positioning and precise force feedback. Massage head modules simulate Chinese physiotherapy techniques. A smart purification chamber ensures hygiene.
Dimensions & Packaging: product dimensions, 462 mm x 538 mm x 1337 mm
Tags: New Paradigm for Intelligent Physiotherapy, AI Vision Based Automatic Acupuncture Point Localization, Six Dimensional Force Control System, Massage Head Modules, Smart Purification Chamber, Intelligent Health Data Tracking,Immersive Man Machine Interaction, Personalized Customization
Production Technology: The robot features a modular design, facilitating faster, easier maintenance and upgrading to effortlessly meet evolving market demands.
The product, constructed from recyclable aluminum alloy and medical grade ABS, aligns well with environmental principles. The UVC purification system eliminates the need for chemical detergents, avoiding related environmental contamination and minimizing potential health risks associated with chemical residues, thus ensuring both sustainability and user health.
Design Challenge: The NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX module automatically identifies 70 acupuncture points on the back and constructs a 3D model within 10s. A depth camera enables millimeter level human posture recognition and generates real time massage trajectories. The robotic arm regulates forces across six directions, covering all manual massage techniques. The end six axis force sensor offers real time force feedback with plus or minus 1N precision. The positioning precision of 0.05mm ensures precise targeting.
Research: Traditional physiotherapy methods rely on manual labor, and due to the limited number and uneven distribution of qualified therapists, users struggle to access timely and effective treatment. There are variations in techniques and force application among different therapists, resulting in inconsistent quality. Conventional physiotherapy equipment is functionally limited. This product employs AI and advanced technology to offer more efficient, precise, and personalized physiotherapy services.
Inspiration: The robotic arm form with sophisticated, fluid lines conveys the scientific and professional nature of physiotherapy. White as the main color, paired with minimalist blocks, creates a professional, reliable, and futuristic atmosphere to suggest the cleanliness, safety, and technological prowess of the robot. The integrated robotic arm and control unit present an orderly, high tech aesthetic, aligning with the professional aesthetics preferred by the medical grade robot industry.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2024 in Shanghai. The product was launched in December 2025 in China.
Operation Flow: Two plug and play massage head modules for kneading or pressing ensure versatility.
A touchscreen displays the operational status. Users can customize massage paths, intensity levels, and temperatures via the APP or touchscreen.
A smart purification chamber with a UVC quartz glass sterilization system kills 99.9 percent of bacteria.
The system generates personalized health profiles, which are integrated with medical institution databases to enable remote health management and proactive risk alerts.
