This paper explores the digital modeling and robotic reproduction of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) massage techniques. We adopt an adaptive admittance control algorithm to optimize force and position control, ensuring safety and comfort. The paper analyzes key TCM techniques from kinematic and dynamic perspectives, and designs robotic systems to reproduce these massage techniques. The results demonstrate that the robot successfully mimics the characteristics of TCM massage, providing a foundation for integrating traditional therapy with modern robotics and expanding assistive therapy applications.
