Abstract: A system includes a first robotic arm and a second robotic arm, each coupled to a support structure configured to support an object. The first robotic arm includes a first end effector having a first shape, and the second robotic arm is separate from the first robotic arm and includes a second end effector having a second shape that mirrors the first shape when observed from a common perspective. The first end effector and/or the second end effector is asymmetric about at least one two-dimensional plane of that is perpendicular to an end effector plane of the at least one of the first end effector or the second end effector. At least one processor is operatively coupled to the first robotic arm and the second robotic arm, and configured to perform coordinated body work on the object using the first robotic arm and the second robotic arm.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for generating a dynamic, autonomous, machine-learning, and modifiable therapeutic massage plan. A system, method, and apparatus are provided for determining and executing the motion planning for directing one or more robotic arms to execute a sequence of motions while maintaining contact between their end effectors and a subject.

Abstract: A system that includes a processor, a bolster, a headrest, and an arm interface where the processor receives an input associated with configuring at least one of the bolster, the headrest, or the arm interface. The processor generates a control signal based at least in part on the input and controls an actuator using the control signal to adjust a configuration of the at least one of the bolster, the headrest, or the arm interface.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for a robotic system effecting autonomous therapy or treatment of a body having soft and/or hard tissue. A system, method, and apparatus are provided for a robotic control system having a fused sensing stream for predicting the deformation of a robotic end effector and the tissue that the end effector is in contact with using, e.g., a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model. The model updates provide adjustment parameters for the control system to compensate for changes in the mechanical nature of the robotic end effector and the characteristics and/or movement of the tissue being treated by the robotic end effector.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for a robot system that manipulates the surface of an object effect programmed manipulation goals such as reaching specific locations on the surface of the object, displacing the surface of the object, applying a predetermined force and torque to the surface of the object, dynamically changing the contact point between the robot and the object, and applying force to structures below the surface of the object. The system and method determine the state of the object through a sensing method that includes, without limitation: torque and force measurement, visible light sensors, range and depth sensors, ultrasound sensors, thermographic sensors, and worktable force measurement.

Abstract: Adjusting of robotic trajectory includes continuously generating a sequence of goals for a robotic arm in accordance with the trajectory. It further includes receiving a command from an input device. It further includes selectively modifying a next goal based at least in part on the command received from the input device. An end effector interacts with a deformable body based at least in part on the modifying of the next goal.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for autonomous body interaction system is provided. A system and method for a robot interacting with a human or other soft or deformable body is provided for the purpose of active application of pressure to specific points or regions of the body. The system and method conducts at least one of: localizing the position of the body, detecting the configuration of the body, identifying the surface region(s) of the body, predicting the underlying anatomy of the body, assessing the state of the body, preparing a plan for manipulation of the body, and executing a predetermined and/or dynamically updated plan on the body.
