This document discusses the history and features of robotic massage chairs. It begins with an introduction to invention and defines a robotic massage chair. It then discusses the history of massage chairs, which were first introduced in 1954 in Japan. The document outlines several key features of modern massage chairs, including kneading massage, heat therapy, automatic programs, footrest extensions, and music synchronization. It concludes with a summary of the information presented.

3. INTRODUCTION TO INVENTIONS
Invention is the art or method of discovering the
argument in the rhetorical situation.
Aristotle defined Invention as :
“ Finding and displaying the available
arguments of any issue.”

4. ROBOTIC MASSAGE CHAIR
A Robotic Chair is a chair that contains internal
electronic motors and gears designed to massage the
person sitting on them.

5. HISTORY
 Robotic massage chairs were first brought to market in
1954 by the Family Fujiiryoki company.
 Today, Japan is the largest consumer of massage chairs
with some surveys suggesting that over 20% of
Japanese households actually own a massage chair.

6.  Most Robotic Massage Chairs have some form of
controller to vary the type, location or intensity of
massage.
 Massaging chairs vary tremendously in price, style and
intensity, from cheap "vibrate only" chairs to full
intensity Shiatsu models

7.  A less expensive option is
a separate massaging pad
that may be used with an existing
chair.
 There are many different types and
brands, including office-style chairs
that operate from internal batteries.

8. FEATURES
 Kneading
Massage
 Heat Therapy
 Auto Programs
 Footrest
Extension
 Music - Massage
Synchronization

9. KNEADING MASSAGE
 The kneading massage
is a gentle or firm squeezing
movement.
 The rollers must move sideways
across your back to perform a
kneading massage.
 Make sure that the massage chair you purchase has a
motor that is dedicated just to the kneading massage.
 This is ensures that the kneading will have sufficient
torque from the motor to perform flawlessly.

10. HEAT THERAPY
 Many of the top robotic recliners
have integrated heating elements
into their chairs.
 Some chairs have the capability to
heat only one area while others can
heat multiple areas.
 If you can get the heating with individual area controls,
this way you can apply heat to just the areas you really
want.
 Heat is very relaxing and helps reduce swelling and
increase blood flow.

11. AUTO PROGRAMS
 Most massage chairs come
with automatic programs. Just
press a button and the massage
chair takes over and delivers the
massage.
 The auto programs are set to
control the various massage
techniques, locations, massage systems and durations.
 If you have lower back pain, then you want to make
sure the program can adequately cover that area.

12. FOOTREST EXTENSION
 To accommodate taller
users, a footrest extension is
critical.
 Most foot rest extensions allow
the foot rest to go out an extra
3 to 4 inches.
 This doesn’t seem like a lot, but
it is the difference between fitting
in the massage chair and not.
 If you are five foot ten or over, you definitely want to
investigate this further.

13. MUSIC - MASSAGE SYNCHRONIZATION
 This is a fascinating technology.
With the touch of a button,
the massage will synchronize
its movements to the rhythm
of the music.
 The intensity of the massage also
varies with the tempo.
 Rock music will produce a more invigorating massage
then say classical music.
 It is an interesting technology and when coupled with
the right music can be very effective in reducing stress.

14. SUMMARY
In this presentation we have
discuss about Introduction,
Definitions, History, Features
of Robotic Massage Chair.

ideas of men who lived before us and without
their groundwork, modern inventions would
have been impossible.”
