The robot stands up to let a person get on, and when seated it moves the arms and legs to help with full-body stretching. When you place a finger, it analyzes fatigue and tension levels, and it provides care for the face and scalp using LED light. This is the healthcare robot that Bodyfriend is showcasing at lounges nationwide.

Healthcare robot corporations Bodyfriend is rolling out the "Ride 733" campaign and is gaining word-of-mouth as a popular spot for robot rides. Starting in early Aug., Bodyfriend has been running the "Ride 733" campaign at about 150 lounges nationwide, where people can directly experience wearable robots and AI-based healthcare technology.

You can make a reservation in advance on the official Bodyfriend website and customer app, and when you complete the trial and review, you receive Health Coins and coupons that can be used in the app.

The flagship product, "733," is a wearable healthcare robot that wraps around the body like a robot suit. When powered on, it stands up on its own to assist boarding, and after you sit, it supports full-body stretching by moving the arms, shoulders, legs, ankles, and hip joints. "Quantum AI" emits LED light from the robot's head area. It provides facial skin and scalp care while also delivering a massage.

"Da Vinci AI" analyzes the user's physical condition by having them place a fingertip on a sensor. Through a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor, it measures heart rate, heart rate variability, and oxygen saturation, and the AI analyzes fatigue and tension to recommend a massage suited to the current condition. The heart rate and oxygen saturation measurement functions earned Korea's first performance certification in the Ministery of Food and Drug Safety's "digital medical and health support devices" category.

A Bodyfriend official said, "To truly understand how a healthcare robot differs from conventional massagers, you need to ride it and move with it," and added, "We hope you visit a nearby lounge to do full-body exercise with a healthcare robot and experience both healing and fun by trying fatigue analysis and saju palja analysis."
