About this book

This book envisions the imminent arrival of fully robotic haircutting systems with commercial practicality, driven by advancements in technologies such as 3D printing, CNC machining, artificial intelligence, and robotics. The evolution of haircutting has reached significant milestones, from manual cutting to self-cutting devices, yet, as of 2024, no commercially available haircutting robots exist.

Offering a pioneering exploration of the theoretical foundations for these innovations, the book integrates insights from robotics, AI, and aesthetic design to address challenges like precision, safety, and customization. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, entrepreneurs, and professionals seeking to lead the development of cutting-edge haircutting solutions. With its forward-looking perspective, the book lays a roadmap for transforming personal grooming through multidisciplinary innovation.
