Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of health and medical equipment, in particular to robotics technology and intelligent control technology, and specifically to an intelligent massage robot and a digital twin monitoring system thereof. Background Art
[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve and their health awareness gradually increases, massage, as a traditional way of physical health care, is widely used to relieve muscle fatigue, promote blood circulation, and relax the body and mind. However, traditional manual massage methods require high skills from masseurs and consume a lot of time and physical energy. In addition, manual massage is difficult to accurately adjust according to individual differences, and it is often difficult to achieve the best relaxation and health care effects.
[0003] With the continuous advancement of robotics technology, robots have gradually expanded from the industrial field to the medical, rehabilitation, construction, cleaning and other industries, and massage robots have emerged. Although existing massage robots can replace manual massage to a certain extent, they generally lack intelligent control, personalized services and real-time feedback functions. Most massage robots rely on preset massage programs to perform operations and cannot accurately match the user's status in real time, so they cannot provide a personalized experience. In addition, current massage robots generally fail to widely use digital twin technology, which limits their real-time monitoring and guidance capabilities in the health field. Due to the lack of precise adjustment functions based on physiological data, existing equipment may cause discomfort when providing massage services, and even have a negative impact on users.
[0004] Therefore, in response to the above problems, there is an urgent need for a massage robot that can combine intelligent control, real-time feedback and digital twin technology. A six-degree-of-freedom parallel robot mechanism is designed with an inverted structure to ensure the accuracy of the contact between the massage head and the user's back and prevent the massage area from deviating from the human back. Digital twin technology is used to create a virtual human model, and the virtual model interacts with the robot control system to achieve precise motion control to meet the needs of personalized health management. Through precise adjustment based on physiological data and long-term health management functions, this technology will significantly improve the massage effect and provide users with a more comfortable and scientific health care experience.
