Head massaging robot

Feeling burnt out from stress is common given the ample workload and personal baggage we carry in our lives. To act as a stress buster, the world's first finger simulated head-mounted massaging robot named 'Lerou' has been introduced by a Hong Kong-based company.

The device helps to augment concentration, improve sleep quality and blood circulation in different parts of the head. It helps in relaxing and has a palliative effect on the mind. Those who like the movement of physical hands rather than a robot will be assured as the head of the massage robot is built of FDA approved material which is soft and skin-friendly. The lightweight, adjustable and portable device comes high on providing comfort and is not that noisy as a machine.
