Engineering – The Brain
• We track what the hands do
– Panasonic creates massage feelings by recording
the real massage onto computer. Placement,
speed, depth, angle. Then we recreate this with
motors, software, and mechanical parts.
• Computer "Power" tells motors what to do by
translating the human touch into code
– Example:
• 1 shiatsu movement, 4 seconds, is 100 lines of data
• 1 kneading movement, 5 seconds, is 180 lines of
