How does it work?
It starts with a multipatent-pending mechanism that is designed
to act like “wrists” and “arms.” Then, the built-in “hands” con-
sist of two three-dimensional moving discs that are surrounded
by a firm, yet comfortable material that feels like “fingers” and
“thumbs.” Working together, these robotic components deliver a
variety of massage functions that feel great and really work.
