Healthcare robot corporations Bodyfriend has launched 733, a wearable healthcare robot that combines full-body movement assistance.
Bodyfriend on the 24th held an event at its headquarters in Gangnam District, Seoul, and unveiled the artificial intelligence (AI) healthcare robot 733. The 733 fuses AI, Robotics, and Digital Healthcare technologies to expand physical movement along with massage. It was previewed at CES, the global home appliance and information technology trade show, and also won an innovation award.
The 733 can drive the arms, legs, and hip joints simultaneously. It adds ankle rotation and hip elevation functions to independent left-right leg drive, and the arm section also widens its range of motion with structures such as vertical rotation.
It also includes a function that assists users in getting on and off. When powered on, the product rises on its own, and when seated, it recognizes the user and performs actions.
It supports stretching and exercise movements that move the upper and lower body together. It is designed to enable complex movements, such as implementing cycling-type leg movements along with shoulder stretching. It features a function that recommends massage modes based on the user's age and sex, and provides personalized programs using big-data-based algorithms.
User safety and convenience were also enhanced. A total of 33 safety sensors are applied, and the angle of the arm massage section can also be adjusted up to 90 degrees to match the user's condition. A personal smartphone, tablet, and display quick-dial, among other methods, can be used as a remote control.
Bodyfriend CEO Gwak Doyoun said, "The 733 is a product at the pinnacle of healthcare robots that goes beyond mere muscle relaxation massage to provide an active body-care experience by moving the entire body freely," adding, "Going forward, the 733 will change how health management is done at home and the standards of the healthcare market."
