A touchscreen lets users direct the two robotic arms’ pressure, target specific areas, and change the music and lighting. Patrons can now book an Aescape massage at some Equinox gyms in New York City, the Kimpton Epic Miami, the Four Seasons Resort Orlando, or the Four Seasons Baltimore (with more locations coming). A 30-minute session starts at $60, but because it can work on both sides of the body at once, Litman says it offers “at least twice the work in half the time you’d spend in a traditional massage.” Learn More at [Aescape](https://fave.co/4e22MOh "undefined") These are independent reviews of the products mentioned, but TIME receives a commission when purchases are made through affiliate links at no additional cost to the purchaser. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094771/aescape/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094771/aescape/"},"headline":"Aescape: the 200 Best Inventions of 2024","datePublished":"2024-10-30T11:54:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T11:54:31.075Z","description":"Find out why Aescape is one of the best inventions of 2024","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094771/aescape/","keywords":["Tech","E-Commerce","list","franchise","Magazine","best inventions"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt47eb425ebd0657b5/698a8a1bdb2987a468270c6d/Aescape-best-inventions.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Mateo","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-mateo/"}],"creator":"Ashley Mateo","articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt47eb425ebd0657b5/698a8a1bdb2987a468270c6d/Aescape-best-inventions.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094771/aescape/","name":"Aescape: the 200 Best Inventions of 2024"}}]}] ```
