With Cobotics Innovations, we are entering a new frontier – where robotic technology and human expertise work hand in hand

Gharieni Group has launched a new company, Cobotics Innovations, to create automated wellness experiences. The first solution is a robotic treatment system that is part of the company’s Wellness Cobot Generation of technologies.

The new technology takes the form of a treatment station, including a treatment bed, that combines software with precision robotics to deliver a full-body percussive massage. 

The launch is in direct response to demand for scalable, high-performance wellness solutions from a variety of markets, including spas, fitness clubs and other wellness environments.

Cobotics Innovations’ CEO, Jens Schramm, said: “With Cobotics Innovations, we are creating a new layer within the wellness ecosystem. Our goal is not to replace therapists, but to empower them – giving them tools that enhance precision, reduce physical strain and open the door to entirely new treatment concepts.”

The system has been developed to provide clients with operational flexibility and ways to enhance wellness experiences alongside therapist-led treatments. The company sees this generation of technology as a way to help maximise treatment room use, scale therapies and create robust commercial potential.

Sammy Gharieni, founder and CEO of Gharieni Group, said: “Innovation has always been at the heart of Gharieni. With Cobotics Innovations, we are entering a new frontier – where robotic technology and human expertise work hand in hand. We believe this is the beginning of a transformative chapter for the wellness industry.”
