1. A modular pneumatic somatosensory device, comprising:
a main body;
a plurality of airbags detachably disposed at different positions of the main body, wherein at least a part of the airbags have different sizes, each of the airbags has a connecting tube, the connecting tubes of the airbags with different sizes have different colors;
a plurality of inflating modules detachably disposed on the main body, wherein each of the inflating modules has a connecting tube, the connecting tubes of the inflating modules have different colors, each of the inflating modules comprises an inflator pump; and
a control module detachably disposed on the main body and electrically connected with the inflating modules, wherein the control module controls the inflating modules to inflate the corresponding airbags according to a control signal,
wherein the connecting tubes of the inflating modules and the connecting tubes of the corresponding airbags have identical colors;
wherein the number of the inflating modules is equal to the number of the airbags, each of the inflating modules is correspondingly connected with one of the airbags, a region projected on the main body by each of the inflating modules overlaps with a region where the correspondingly connected airbag is projected on the main body, an area projected on the main body by each of the inflating modules is smaller than an area projected on the main body by the correspondingly connected airbag.
