The massage robot will offer a more affordable and user-friendly alternative with the same benefits as the massage by the therapist. The study investigated the role of effective massage head of robot in the interaction between human and robot. Through a process of design and controlled user evaluation, we examined the cooperation between robot and human as well as the physical influence of affective contact. The system scans to perceive and give motions and touch through elastic and vibration contact. We detail the design of the massage robot, which imitates massage experts with complex operations, then was enhanced through intelligent autonomous.
