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.
