About Artech Ai Smart Fysioterapirobot

Artech Ai Smart er en fysioterapirobot designet for presis og sporbar behandling. Et AI-visjonssystem identifiserer 70 akupunkturpunkter på ryggen og bygger en tredimensjonal modell i løpet av 10 sekunder. Et seksdimensjonalt kraftkontrollsystem gir posisjonering på millimeternivå og nøyaktig krafttilbakemelding. To plug-and-play massasjehodemoduler simulerer elte- og trykketeknikker. Et smart rensekammer med et UVC-steriliseringssystem holder enheten hygienisk uten kjemiske rengjøringsmidler. Den modulære kroppen er laget av resirkulerbar aluminiumslegering og ABS av medisinsk kvalitet.

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.
