Robots are taking over NYC — replacing humans in spas and doctors’ offices

The robot will see you now!

At this NYC spa, the “hands” of the masseuse giving you a rubdown may not be pumping with blood but filled with data.

Aescape has created the first commercially available fully automated AI masseuse that’s a bit more advanced than your average mall massage chair — and works faster than your favorite masseuse.

For $60, anyone who downloads the Aescape app can book a 30-minute session. It’s expected to be available to the public at 10 Equinox locations across the Big Apple this spring — and no, you don’t have to be an Equinox member.

The Aescape AI-enhanced massage tables use two robotic “arms” to scan the user’s body — clothed in friction-free clothing provided by the company upon arrival — in order to generate over 1.1 million 3D data points to map the body. From there, it can identify key anatomical points to guide the “hands” to perform a targeted massage, which can be controlled from a touchscreen directly under the headrest.

“Our robots move in a way that feels very familiar. That’s what’s really important,” Eric Litman, founder and CEO of Aescape, told The Post. “This had to feel like something that you already understand. But at the same time, we really wanted to empower the capabilities that could be delivered only through technology.”
