Abstract
A massage robot uses machine vision to locate treatment spots for massage. In one approach, a massage robot includes one or more robotic arms, an image sensor and a control system. The image sensor captures images of the user. The control system includes an image processing module and a motion controller. The image processing module processes the images to locate a treatment spot on the user. The motion controller controls the robotic arm to perform a massage procedure on the identified treatment spot.
