ROBOTICS TECHNOLOGY
Healthcare Robots Driven by Robotics Technology
Bodyfriend introduced the world’s first Healthcare Robot with independently moving legs in 2022.
Since then, we have continued to advance robotics technology, developing Healthcare Robots that deliver new stimulation to the entire body and promote healthy movements.
What is Healthcare Robot?
It senses the human body shape and, through robotics technology that generates diverse movements throughout the entire body, delicately stimulates the muscles and provides core training.
The Advancement of Robotics Technology
ROVO Walking – Independent movement of both legs strengthens the lower body and core muscles
Active Arm – Pulling technology that stimulates the arm and shoulder muscles
Flexible Frame – A frame that reclines and elevates to provide full-body stretching
Standing ROVO – Assists user in boarding by allowing the robot to sit and stand on its own
Unwind in Excellence
Award-Winning Massage Chairs with Certified Comfort.
