How can users retain visible, direct control in a physical interaction?

Context

The project used massage as a concrete setting for human–machine collaboration: automation needed to provide a dependable path while preserving user control over position, force and movement.

Core insight

The value of physical intelligence comes not only from automation but from whether a person can understand the system state and intervene at any moment.

My role

Contributed as the project creator across the product concept and project presentation.

What was built

The project combined preset massage paths with a VR-guided free-control mode, using a live camera view, body key-point tracking and two six-axis robotic arms.

System

A preset mode provided a standard path; the free-control mode translated the user's indicated location into robotic-arm motion, keeping control visible and immediate.

Evidence

AdventureX 2026: fourth place in the PAWN track, AgileX Best Real-world Implementation and Dimensional Best Application.

Key decisions

The two-mode structure addressed the tension between dependable execution and user agency.

What changed

The project moved the inquiry into agents from screen-based workflows toward physical control, feedback and responsibility boundaries.
