An eerie yet transformative experience with Aescape, an AI-powered massage robot, at a wellness center. The robot, with its deep-sea blue massage table and robotic arms, offers a unique spa experience.
My first meeting with Aescape , the AI-powered massage robot , was benign enough — if a bit eerie. As if HAL had gotten a job in the Valley. I stepped into the austere spa room at Pause, a wellness center in Studio City, and a sturdy massage table commanded the space. It was deep-sea blue and plush, glowing from LED lights that lined its base. Its enormous, sculpted robot arms promised a unique spa experience. Yes, I was about to get a transformative butt massage by an AI-powered masseuse.
That’s a headache to schedule, especially when there’s a shortage of massage therapists in the U.S., according to the International Spa Assn. As a solution, Litman imagined a “fully automated, customizable massage experience,” with the goal of “bringing personalized wellness robotics to the masses,” as the Aescape company describes its mission. Litman founded the robotics company in 2017 and by November 2023, it had $85 million in funding from technology, wellness and hospitality backers.
