Abstract

A robotic massage system includes a robotic arm. An end effector is positioned at the end of the robotic arm. The end effector includes a plurality of contact sensors embedded in the end effector. The robotic arm is controlled to engage a deformable body with the end effector. The force sensors embedded in the end effector provide force feedback indicating a contact patch where the end effector is contacting the deformable body.
