An automatic haircut system is developed in which the robot arm cuts the hair by 3D scanning with iPhone X
Advances in technology have made it possible for machines to perform tasks that were thought to be possible only by humans.
Today, @BuzzRobotics enters open beta.We're charging $ 6 for a neck fuzz cut (tip included). Want to be among the first people in the world to get a robotic haircut? Shoot me a DM. Video of our entire process? ??? pic.twitter.com/Fc9AUpJisd

First, the customer's neck is scanned in 3D with the iPhone X True Depth camera attached to the robot arm. The scanning application uses Scandy .
Data scanned with a True Depth camera is rendered as a 3D model on a PC.
Draw a line to cut directly on the 3D model.
This time, a clipper is attached to the tip of the robot arm. The clippers move according to the set line and continue to trim the neck. Although the point where the clipper is inserted is adjusted, everything else is calculated dynamically, and the clipper can always be inserted at an appropriate angle.
In the final test operation, the movie that reproduced the hair of Mr. Sinha's arm at 2x speed is as follows. The green seal is the starting point for the clippers. The monitor that is visible in the back is for displaying the system status screen.

In the following tweet, after the right image is trimmed. The sled-up line has a V shape, so there is some hair left in the middle of the upper part.
Left is before, right is after.Some room for improvement: note the little bit of v-line remaining on the center.pic.twitter.com/aFpvPDsQ2e

In addition, Sinha highly valued 3D scanning using iPhone X's True Depth camera and Scandy as 'millimeter precision.'

In addition, it seems that the system that harvests the neck with this iPhone X and robot arm has already been released as an open beta version, and it can be experienced for 6 dollars (about 650 yen, including chips). Buzz Robotics will continue to develop automatic haircut systems in the future, 'Please send a direct message to anyone who wants to be the first person to experience haircuts with robots in the world,' Sinha said. Is calling.
