I fear robots but love a good back rub. Aescape is a robot massage table powered by AI that delivers a customized and convenient massage.
The vibe of Aescape’s massage rooms is familiar: soft lighting, inviting earth tones, a fresh smell, and stylish chairs with fluffy pillows that you only use to daintily pile your clothes on top of. Like a typical spa, the room also has a massage table, but instead of the classic flat surface covered in a white sheet, it’s a large, pill-shaped device. And then there’s the pair of large robotic arms. Aescape is a New York City-based company that has created an 'AI-enhanced' massage table.
Aescape also says that the table learns more about your body and preferences with each massage. “We use AI to personalize your massage-going experience. Our data, trained by therapists, learns from your feedback over time, adjusting treatments to your preferences,” Litman tells PopSci. One issue I’ve encountered while trying robotic back massagers or massage chairs is a one-size-fits-all approach and ending up with rotating massage balls bruising my spine instead of providing any actual relief.
