far_in_ha

Sounds legit... It's for the happy ending


HorrorMakesUsHappy

That raises an interesting legal question. Happy endings are illegal because that's prostitution. But if it's a machine, would that be illegal? I'm guessing there would be at least four groups: * People who'd think that should be illegal too. * People who'd only be concerned about there being regulations to ensure the machine is sanitized. * People who wouldn't care about it being sanitized. * People who'd pay more for it to not be sanitized.


Free-Necessary-2710

This also brings up another question. Are there places like this already? A place where you can do various sexual things with machines, toys, real dolls, etc and you.pay a.fee? I mean, these things are easily cleaned. Much safer than sex workers as well.


far_in_ha

Apparently mechanophilia is a crime in some nations...


HorrorMakesUsHappy

I'm curious which nations, but don't really care to have that in my search history. So, what, it's illegal for women to use vibrators in those countries? In the entire nation? Because that's crazy.

raptor7912

As someone who has worked around industrial arms that size. You ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE, it’s against the law to be remotely within reach of any robot arm that’d be capable of hurting you. And for VERY good reason. The arms you are allowed to have sitting next to you on a table, move so slowly and can produce so little force. That the only injury risk is it falling on your feet.


0_o

same. I work with denso robotic arms that are roughly as big as those. They could rip you apart with without slowing down.


HeyGayHay

I mean it's a concept gif, but I feel like you almost certainly could design the massage robot arms with a physical maximum force limit, which probably would still pin you down but not rip you to shreds. Like kinda when my mum would put one of her hands around me, I prolly couldn't move and have trouble breathing but I'll be fine.


raptor7912

Yuuuup you could program in safety features. But once you’ve seen one of these whip around and slam into something because of a glitch. It becomes clear, that no you shouldn’t get within reach at all.


SwordKneeMe

It would need to be a physical feature I think, not a program


WhipMeHarder

No he means have the actuation device have a physical limiter that maximizes the force the device can deliver, such as using an elastic force or viscous medium


f3xjc

Robot that interact with human often are current (torque) controlled. Instead of go there and use whatever force available to reach. It's stay within that force band and if you are at a wrong position accept it.


Esava

Yeah but massages need significant force. However you don't want that force 3 cm to the side where your spine is.


DGOkko

As someone who has worked intimately with collaborative robots and standard industrial robots and programmed and designed both tooling and safety for sizes from small to car-lifting, I can say it depends. The robots shown look like Kuka’s LBR Med, which is a 6 (or 7, can’t tell from their online literature) axis collaborative robot. This means it has force-limiting, redundant safety code that meets ISO standards, and under the right conditions, can be used in contact with humans. The biggest consideration for collaborative robots is the end of arm tool design, which in this case looks potentially dangerous (has a slightly pointy side), but likely can’t injure a person more than maybe a bruise. They are speed limited (note how sped up the video is) and have programming safety features as well. These are not the same as industrial robots, that, at that reach typically have 6-10kg payloads or more, and move over 2m/s and don’t give a fuck about what’s in the way. Those robots are terrifying, these are not, and in reality, the only similarity is that they both tie 6 axes together in an “arm” configuration. Just some information you might find useful.


Emergency-Name-6514

Cars that malfunction can kill you but we use them every day. Same with airplanes. Obviously they are very justified in worrying but the engineering best practices are well documented. A product like this wouldn't be inherently dangerous if handled correctly.


Esava

>A product like this wouldn't be inherently dangerous if handled correctly. I am less worried about the person handling it causing the injury and more about something about the path planning and/or motion system control (including the sensors) malfunctioning (which are quite a COMMON issues even today, even with regularly maintained large scale industrial robots). Those can be both hardware and software issues. In general Byzantine faults would be disastrous with this kinda system. I can assure you that basically noone who develops/programs/maintains any powerful robots would trust a system like this at this point in time. Especially because massages need significant force in some parts, but you certainly don't want the same amount of force 3cm to the side directly on your spine or on your head. So you can't even just put in torque/force gate values.


Emergency-Name-6514

I am specifically referring to the path planning and motion system and sensor failures. I am a professional in the industry, and specifically, my job is to identify the ways in which systems can fail (in terms of random hardware failures and systematic issues in software design). If you can't trust your system the way you trust your car to not randomly blow the airbag whole you're driving, then that indicates that you don't trust that your system was designed the same way cars get designed, and that fear may very well be warranted. I don't have a specific argument to make, I just like talking about this stuff.


AugieKS

I would assume these arms are engineered with that in mind and are not built with the ability to apply much force.


asa_my_iso

Not anymore. Chevron deference is gone so bring on the arms.


KarlwithaKandnotaC

Excellent work, 47. Now head to an exit


AlanStark909

Ah I miss this game, hope we can have a new one soon


ottersinabox

those robots are so low powered the only thing you'd need to worry about is crushing your nuts


Apearthenbananas

Can I pay extra to have it crush my nuts?


jamboi_0

A lotta paperwork sure... But anything is possible I guess


eddyb66

I mean unless it's doing a real time 3d scan of your body throughout the massage I can't see it not injuring someone.


reidlos1624

It's based on force feedback. The control system is a separate chipset that gives positive feedback to maintain safety. As long as the end of arm tooling is broad enough to not concentrate the force applied it's perfectly safe


WoozleWozzle

Never forget that robots are not limited to human strength and do not feel bad when something starts going wrong.

Can John Oliver donate one to every public library?


moresnowplease

I mean, massage chairs have a wide range of price points and look a lot safer than this… :)


314159265358979326

I have one and I depend on it to a great degree because I have a permanent back injury that causes muscle spasms between my shoulder blades. $270 and it's made my life liveable. However, a massage therapist can do so much more. But at $90 for a 45 minute session, I can only do it occasionally, while with a massage chair I can do it every day. This thing is probably a lot closer to a massage therapist than a massage chair. If I could find some way to afford it I'd buy it.


AdminsAreDim

It really pisses me off how quick insurance companies are to pay for quack chiropractic bullshit, but how hard it is to get coverage for therapeutic massage.


moresnowplease

This machine does look amazing!!! But it also looks quite pricey, questionable whether it’s cheaper than a massage therapist over time! :)


314159265358979326

It looks like the estimate in the thread is on the range of $50k. At $90/session, weekly it would take 11 years to pay off. Probably not worth it. But if you've got chronic back pain, it might be worth using daily: 18 months. I struggle to work because of pain (just yesterday I was fired for it), daily massages could actually increase my income substantially. And it's more convenient. No driving to and waiting for appointments. No occasional awkwardness. My wife could use it too.


jigsaw1024

A machine like this would offer the opportunity to lower the cost and have more available hours to serve more people. It wouldn't be too hard to run a small business around these. 10 of these would be a million or more annual revenue business with only around 6 employees, at the low end of around $30 per massage session. I could easily see paying these back in less than 5 years and still have a very well performing business. The only question is how durable the arms are to calculate how much maintenance they require, and how many massages they can do before total replacement is recommended.


Substantial_Trip5674

The only real question I've seen


shetif

Just thinking about the whole thing, speculating. 2x 5axis (maybe 4?) robot arm with software that knows massage AND a backend computer AND does not kill you... Well.. Even if it's just yourself, and your current body shape, without some AI driven shit, and if it's in mass production, I wouldn't be surprised over a million $ pricetag. If it can be used with any body type, and with multiple "massage programs", adding 2024 year shit stuff like "brand new shit massage subscription", with low manufacture numbers, I bet for over 4 mil. But if you have the correct numbers or even source, it's welcome :D


TheBetawave

I work with robot arms, this type of arm can cost anywhere from 10-30k depending on how fancy you want it or what you can program or make yourself. More expensive ones will have a pressure monitoring system so it won't crush you when it receives more feedback. If it's an abrupt enough pressure it should cause it to fault and lock up. Meaning it can prevent you from moving it unless you active a freedrive mode. I'm sure all that means is you can press a button on the table to move the arm out of the way manually. Also you would be surprised at how light these are. Some can be as little as 40lbs. (The whole thing) but your not going to be lifting the entire weight. You will only be moving the joints or part of the arm and not the base.


shetif

Thanks for the insight!

That’s an extra $200/month for the “happy ending” subscription


Ladle-to-the-Gravy

Look—we can argue about stuff like religion and morality and whether or not there’s life after death until we’re blue in the face, but can we all just agree that paying a monthly subscription for robots to jack us off is simply too dystopian for this world?

You’re right. The robot Jack off machine should be a one-time fee!

NewCobbler6933

If you try to get up before the massage is over, it compensates by pulverizing your internal organs.


lkodl

there could easily be an attachment for that.


RagerRambo

When it malfunctions and breaks your spinal cord


vicrobot_

Yeah, designs somehow are not made end result oriented. They were taught how to move, they we're not taught for why to move and if that intention seems to be not completing they need to stop immediately. That's what happens, robot still moves even in malfunction, totally unaware of its effects


FoiyaHai

Collaborative robot arms like this ("cobots") are designed with programmed safeguards, internal sensors that detect resistance to movement, and external sensors that detect things like end effector ("hand") pressure, as well as proximity and object movement detection. Cobots actually *are* designed and built for specific applications (ie they are made end result oriented). The hydraulic or pneumatic force they can produce is limited, based on the desired application, and this is often limited by the industrial machinery that produces that force itself (think weaker compressors and motors). You're right to be wary though, even if designed and built for safety, there's still the possibility things may go awry.


round-earth-theory

The issue is that the safeties are mostly software based. They aren't using limit switches which physically cut power. And any mechanical safeties can also fail as they wear down. A human masseuse could glitch out and strangle you for fun, but even then they can't physically punch a hole in you accidentally. So a broken human still gives the victim a chance a survive.


objectivePOV

It would be easy do design it with motors that physically can not output enough force to cause harm.


justtrustmeokay

is this actually available to buy in the real world, or just concept art by an AI trying to convince us to give it robot arms?


Hopeful-Network8653

Lol seriously


FoiyaHai

Just based on this being an animation showing what looks like a project goal, I suspect this is in the design or prototype stage of development. Collaborative robots ("Cobots"), robots that are intentionally designed and built for safely interacting with people, do exist today and are in use in many industries. I doubt, but do not know if, this type of cobot is available for purchase yet. (Edit: Also, I lol'd at the AI comment.)


SwarfDive01

You can purchase the arms, they look like UR brand, universal robots. They are fairly easy to program, as far as robots go. They are designed for collaborative work with humans, so they have specifically integrated safety systems and limits for working with/next to humans. The size of those are limited to around 5-10Kg of force. They can also be programed easily with very accurate force feedback along side the servo motor torque feedback limits.

Rudy69

I have lower back pain that’s caused by very tight hamstrings. So getting my butt massaged feels really good, but I would never dare to go in a massage place and ask the girl to massage my ass lol. With this robot I could get one


HumanPretzel14

I promise that you totally could go into a massage parlor and request that normally. Especially given the excellent reason why that you’ve written. It’s not weird and something that I’ve actually requested before (hips, but they still gotta get to it through the butt cheeks). If they’re a professional, you will be just another body.


konchokzopachotso

I'm a licensed massage therapist, it's not weird AT ALL. We are professionals and for most of us we look at bodies like a mechanic looks at a car


EnlightenedCat

I don’t trust this— a machine cannot feel your ENERGY, your muscles tensing or relaxing, and cannot gauge how you truly react to the feel of pressure on your body. It’s best in my opinion to have an other human make that connection to give you the best massage results. Speaking as a massage patient only.


Icankickmyownass

Lol I already see the deaths by being pinned down


scowling_deth

but i want to do this.. i want to help people, and im very intuitive, im good at helping a person feel much better by massage.. Thing is, it takes some loosing up to ' fix' some muscle issues, if you just forced it, you would damage the muscle tissue. But a massage therapist can change your life, your posture, do you so much good. i remember the sky looking bluer, my outlook was changed after i got a massage, i didnt realize i was haunched over and overworked and miserable, not really. it wont fix everything, but if its the problem, its great. shrug. My massage was an intervention. lol

JustNilt

This sort of thing looks neat but it's absolutely no substitute for a properly skilled professional, FFS. Leaving aside malfunctions, human anatomy is much more varied than most folks realize, ***especially when talking about injuries***. There's absolutely no way this system is going to be able to feel and properly adjust for these differences. A massive part of the training massage therapists receive is in how to detect and adjust for those things.
