Human and robot: sharing massage work

HUMAN + ROBOT — Sharing the Work of Massage 🤖🇨🇳 At SOOTHING in Shanghai’s BFC, I experienced a massage delivered by a practitioner and a NetEase-branded robot. For part of the session, both worked on me at the same time. The robot handled repetitive movements that felt warm to me. The practitioner handled the finer, more delicate work. That division of work matters. Physical AI can enter everyday services through specific tasks within a workflow that still depends on human skill, communication and judgment. The NetEase connection adds context. Reporting traces EaseFuture’s massage robotics business to incubation at NetEase Fuxi and independent operation from July 2025. EaseFuture describes body recognition, force control and imitation learning, alongside a service model combining practitioners and robots. These are company-described capabilities—not features I independently verified on this device. The equipment I photographed carried the NetEase name; its exact model remains unconfirmed. My session showed a service in use. It did not establish how well that service performs over time. Does the robot reduce repetitive workload? How often does a practitioner adjust or intervene? Can this division of work improve consistency without losing personal attention? Do the economics support sustained operation? B2AGI take: Human involvement is part of the deployment story. To understand Physical AI, follow the work shared between people and machines—and examine whether that arrangement creates useful, repeatable value.
