BACKGROUND: Manual massage (MM) interventions can improve psychophysiological states of relaxation and well-being. In this context, robotic massage (RM) represents a promising, but currently understudied, solution.
Identifying the massage techniques of the masseuse is a prerequisite for guiding robotic massage. It is difficult to recognize multiple consecutive massage maps with a time series for current human action recognition algorithms. To solve the problem,...
