Our goal is to make the LRF more suitable for small robotics applications, and preliminary technologies. We are keeping trying to minimize the volume of the LRF while improve its accuracy and change the light source to near infrared ray to give the user a more comfortable sensory experience. We will also try to use the standard model in 3D space directly rather than project it in 2D to get the better performance. The standard 3D model for different pose is determined by us currently. We will add human pose estimation we proposed previously [40] to estimate the subjects’ pose and
autonomously find the suitable standard 3D model for them.
In the future, we will combine the in-situ tissue estimation with control strategies to make the control system more stable and will dynamically change the time of massage and the massage technique according to the characteristic of soft tissue.
