Wheeme Massage Robot: Therapeutic Toy Car
December 1st, 2010
DreamBots Ltd. has a very loose definition of massaging. To them, as long as something is touching and roaming over your body, that’s a massage. The company is developing WheeMe, a quirky little massage robot that is essentially a toy car. The WheeMe has “fingerettes” – i.e. toothed wheels – that will “massage” you as the robot randomly roams over your body.
The WheeMe does have one neat trick up its sleeve though – it’s equipped with a tilt sensor that prevents it from falling or losing its grip. Here’s an unconvincing video of the WheeMe in action:
No thanks. I’d rather have a massage robot with actual hands. Check out WheeMe’s website for more info, and some borderline NSFW pics.

It’s a gentle massage robot! Cool! Thanks!
WheeMe is a palm-size robot that gently massages and caresses as it moves slowly across the body.
WheeMe is a copy of Tickle, a caress robot from Driessens & Verstappen developed in the ninethees.
