Does anyone know about tickling machines or devices on the market? Asking for a friend

I was thinking about this very thing not too long ago. Did that study where the subjects where tickled by a gloved hand pretending to be a machine (anybody know the one I'm talking about?) prove that machines could tickle you or not? I don't really remember.

What about vibration? I've seen a couple of vids where hitachi wands are pressed against a girl's armpits etc and they seemed to tickle pretty bad. I always wondered if something like that could actually tickle. Maybe it wouldn't work if you did it to yourself though…

Yeah I figure it wouldn't be too crazy, just random numbers setting motors and servos on and off. I guess there isn't a big market for it or something. If there are any inventor types lurking, I'd pay hundreds for a good tickling device, especially one that uses tentacles or fingers etc

I've been thinking about this more and I just thought about how fun it would be to have some person in your tickling machine and be able to pair it via bluetooth and manually slide the knobs around to play with them. Maybe set it to move randomly or remember a certain pattern to loop and whatnot. And this could be PER device so you could have 60 ticklers wired up and activate presets to turn them all on at once or slide them very gently and crank the speed. I think even if a person is resistant to machine tickling the sheer quantity and randomness would still be too much. If there are any mechanical engineers or anyone who is interested in building this, let me know because I would like to help write code for this product. You can take all the credit I just want to help make it exist. Reply to this message if you'd like to build this and I'll start writing code for it.

>What about vibration?

Somebody ticklish could presumably conduct an experiment with the vibration setting on their phone, by putting it on their ticklish spots. If not for a tickle machine, this could at least contribute to the development of remotely activated tickle clothing (and that's just as fine by me). If they wanted to be more thourough, they could even have someone else make it vibrate (lack of control is the basis of tickling after all.) and/or use other sources of vibration (hitachi wand is a good example).

Can't do it myself btw. I'm as sensitive as wooden plank.

I am a computer programmer and have been contemplating it for some time.

First of all the idea of a very long octopus like arm with a hand on the end is not currently possible. You'd have to have some kind of hand which is stationary, meaning you couldn't have a machine that grabs someone or allows them to struggle against the machine.

The idea of electic or vibratory tickling is out of the question. The primary method of tickling is via contact with fingers/brushes etc. In spite of what some "chinese cartoons" would have you believe, a feather machine would not tickle that much. Moreover a clit tickler is not really possible: most vaginas are not ticklish.

That being said there are some 3d printable robot hands in which each finger moves independently. What would be necessary is to at the tip of each finger put some kind of rubber nub or claw so that it has the right feel on the foot, then to have a machine which controls the hand.

In my mind the best way to drive the hand is via springs which cause the fingers to expand and strings which pull the fingers closed. The strings can be driven by a pulley system via an electric motor.

The electric motors can be driven on/off and at varying intensities. This can be driven by a device called an arduino or a raspberry pi. I prefer the rasperry pi because although twic the cost it is much simpler to program.

The only really difficult parts are these:

1. You don't want the hand to be so strong that it somehow damages the feet.

2. You need the patterns in which the fingers move to be diverse enough that the ticklee could not predict how they move. We would desire a large range of movement meaning you would need some kind of omni-angle rotor which can change the angle of the hand as well as change the height of the hand and to move it left and right.

3. This is among the biggest problems. Each foot is a different size. Lets say that you trained the machine on a foot that was too small, and that your hand was programmed to go for the toes. The lee might be able to just move their toes out of the way if the machine was dumb enough thus evading the machine. The ability of the machine to see a new foot and adapt to a new geometry is rather difficult. The way I see it, the easiest way to put the geometry of the foot into the machine is lasers that scan a model of the foot. If one uses lasers, it is necessary that the foot is given tight toe restraints that it stays in the same position. This is also true of the upper body.

All of the components to make something like this more or less exist. It is a matter of finding an investor who is willing to pay for the parts, a programmer who is willing to program it, and a volunteer who is willing to try it out.

For a machine that just tickles the soles, arches, and toes, it wouldn't need to be very large. Maybe about as big as a deckchair. For a machine that tickles the whole body you are looking at a very big very expensive machine.

There is a company that makes this sort of octopus arm for handling things in factories. Essentially some robot arms in factories can sometimes go haywire and then hurt the workers in this factory. So they have this thing which is kind of like a tiny octopus arm which is filled with air and the direction of the air can make it wiggle around. I think that this would be cheaper and more ideal than a 3d printed hand, however it is currently patented by that company.

I am more than willing to help consult with someone on how to program/build this thing. I am well capable of programming it, I just don't have the money to build it.

Thanks for the feedback, it's been extremely helpful for brainstorming. I found a couple of servo motors and an arduino from some old projects and created a basic prototype. It should be noted ahead of time I am not very ticklish, so I imagine the effect would probably be stronger than it was on me to anyone else. The way it worked was by randomly moving the servos from 0 to 180, which actually was pretty ticklish for about 30 seconds before my brain adapted. Next I created 3 separate movement functions: random movement like before, a slow stroke to a sine wave, and random positions with a decent and random pause between to simulate a quick scrape. The speed, pauses, and number of movements per function were all given a slight random offset. After x laps of the functions, it would randomly pick a new function. This actually worked incredibly well and with more servos I think it would've made me cry of laughter. The limiting factors were the number of available ports, using up almost all the power (I have no external power for the servos, just using the 5v from the arduino), and lack of extra servos. These functions and movement instructions all run asyncronously as well so there was no downtime between each servo moving. I wanted to see if the servos I had posed any risk of harming anybody, so I straightened one out and stepped down onto it, and the servo head gave before it could do any damage. This is probably fine for now but I would want to spring load them in the future if I wanted to make a tickling boot design or something. At the very least the servos could be made to recess when forced and pop back out via a spring and this should be perfectly safe. From there it would be finding more ticklish custom heads for the servos. I think (at least for tickling that uses servos) this is incredibly promising, and I just need more servos, power, and arduinos to definitively find out how hard someone can be tickled. Thanks again for your advice on this, I hope we all can make something great in the near future.

This feels like the very beginning to a story where someone tests a tickle machine on themselves only to have it go out of their control by the end and they get trapped in a tickle hell of their own design with no one to save them.

you need a port expander and an external power supply

I also really suggest you switch to a rasperry pi because then you can program it in an easy language rather than c++

Did you attach anything to the servos?

What do you mean by "a slow stroke to a sine wave?"

What were the values for speed, pauses?

I have an arduino laying around and i wanna try it.

I can't lie I would absolutely love to be a test subject for something like this. Especially for one described above being focused on the feet, so it's only about the size of a deckchair, with the tickling implements being a robotically controlled hand with pointed tips that can tickle a pair of helpless soles.

There's always the chance that something goes wrong or the testers decide to do some morally questionable things but that's sort of just the risk you take when you're being a test subject I guess.

That depends:

>are you a cute girl

lol my dude if this were a real thing people would want to test I'm afraid you're going to have to realize that your test subjects aren't always going to be perfect waifus

>do you trust an online shitposter on 8chan enough to get on a plane and travel to their house to test a tickling machine

And that's the other point, that it's fully possible everyone in the thread is just blowing hot air directly out of their ass and has no idea what they're talking about. That's why I worded my post as "this could be neat" rather than "I am absolutely going to do this".

Look up Sqweel 2 Oral Sex Simulator. Not tickling specific, but I'm sure it could fit in the mix.
