Panasonic’s Hair Washing Robot

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 5 of October , 2010 at 12:27 am

This hair washing robot from Panasonic made the rounds last week, but I figured it was one of those things where good video was important, and DigInfo News came through today. One thing that the video doesn’t elaborate on is how the robot is actually scanning the user’s head shape in three dimensions to figure out just the right amount of pressure to apply, and it’ll use that shape to remember who you are and what shampoo and massage settings you like.

In general, Panasonic is trying to create a robotic infrastructure to help Japan (and the rest of the world) deal with an aging population that’s going to need more and more support. As such, this system is primarily targeted at medical environments and not for installing in your bathroom. Yet.

Spot on with this write-up, I actually think this website needs far more consideration. I’ll most likely be once more to learn rather more, thanks for that info.
