'Platonic Hug Generator'/thoughts

A Platonic Hug Generator would be a machine that
administers benign non-sexually oriented physical
compression.

It could be humanoid in shape, but I was thinking it'd
be rectangular because the inspiration for this was
Temple Grandin's hug machine and she got that idea
from a device for holding cattle still for procedures.

Platonic
Plato
idealism
advanced education
the story of the shadows on the cave wall
friendship without "romance"
Socrates

Hug
bears
teddy bears
hugs in church

Generator
thing to use when the power goes out
random generator/a way to rapidly vary ideas
some one who makes things

I think that's a very cool idea! I don't think a box would be good for humans. Worked for cows, but maybe a cylinder for humans?? LOVE the name. :)
