US-based massage and wellness equipment supplier Earthlite has announced a strategic distribution and co-development agreement with French robotic massage company Capsix.

The agreement will see Capsix’s iYU AI robotic massage solution merged with Earthlite’s product ecosystem.

Earthlite will serve as an exclusive distribution partner for the iYU robotic massage system in North America, Mexico and the Caribbean.

In addition, the companies will co-develop integrated solutions that align Earthlite’s massage and treatment beds with the iYU platform for turnkey installations.

“The integration of Capsix’s iYU system with our premium tables will empower our partners to deliver consistent, unattended, AI-driven on-skin wellness services, underscoring our mission to meet evolving client expectations.”

AI-driven touchless massage therapy

The Capsix iYU system brings together AI and state-of-the-art robotics to replicate expert massage protocols.

The system can scan a client’s body and adapt treatments in real time, enabling personalised, high-quality onskin massage experiences without direct human contact.

Designed by PhD engineers, physiotherapists and wellness experts, the iYU robotic massage system can deliver personalised massages tailored to individual needs, offering consistent quality and measurable outcomes.

Touchless massage systems like iYU are gaining traction in spas and hotels, as staffing constraints and expectations around wellness personalisation increasingly shape new service models

“This agreement brings together two innovators in the wellness space,” said François Eyssautier, CEO of Capsix. “By partnering with Earthlite, we are tapping into a trusted distribution channel that shares our commitment to expanding access to touchless solutions worldwide.

“Together, we will set new benchmarks for wellness experiences that combine AI and robotic technology with human-centric design grounded in scientific evidence, helping to accelerate adoption of this new wellness category.”

As part of the Earthlite family offering, the Capsix treatment table will be available through both Earthlite and Living Earth Crafts, expanding access across professional spa and wellness markets.
