Summary

About

About Aescape

Aescape's massage platform maps each user with depth sensors before two Aerflex robotic arms begin a session. The Aerscan system captures about 1.2 million points to build a three-dimensional body model, while heated Aerpoints use seven contact surfaces shaped to reproduce techniques associated with a thumb, knuckle, palm, forearm and elbow.

Users remain clothed in sensor-compatible Aerwear and control pressure, target zones, music and session timing through the Aerview touchscreen. Force sensing, pause and emergency-stop controls operate throughout the treatment. Aescape supplies the system to spas, hotels, gyms, residential and workplace operators and lists more than 100 active locations.
