Could Optimus actually disrupt the massage therapy industry? It's an interesting thought experiment. The global massage therapy market employs roughly 1.4 million professionals, yet the entire sector grinds against the same friction points: human availability, booking logistics, and pricing barriers that keep services out of reach for most people. Traditional constraints—therapists can only work so many hours, schedule gaps create downtime, premium pricing limits accessibility—create a genuine opening. If humanoid robots could handle routine therapeutic massage work, we're looking at 24/7 availability, zero scheduling conflicts, and dramatically reduced per-session costs. The real question isn't whether the technology *could* work, but whether it can meet people's expectations for consistency and comfort. That's the frontier worth watching.

Robot massage? Sounds good, but anyone who truly understands massage knows that feeling can't be replaced. Technique is all about the right amount, can a machine really get that?

Robot massage? Sounds pretty good, but the real issue lies in the sense of trust between people. What do you think?

Bots massage? To be honest, I still prefer the feeling of real human hands; this kind of thing can never replace that...

Bots massage? Sounds quite sci-fi, but to be honest, I would rather see the skills of a real person...
