Panasonic today announced the development of an innovative Hair-Washing Robot. The new Panasonic Hair-Washing Robot can complete the entire process of hair washing automatically, from wetting to shampooing, rinsing, conditioning and drying. The Hair-Washing Robot has been developed using Panasonic’s robot hand technology. It has advanced from the previous model to scan the head shape more finely and perform a series of hair-washing processes, from hand washing through bubble washing and drying, using newly added hand techniques. The robot can even store the data of each person’s head shape and preferred washing mode to meet the needs for everyday hair-washing and scalp care.
The coordinated control of the telescoping washing arms and the back-of-head washing mechanism allows for washing of a wider range of the head. The robot’s 24 fingers gently wash the head using a further advanced 3D pressure-control technology. Using the advanced touch-panel interface, the user can specify the spot to be washed, massaging pressure, and washing mode. This function meets users’ demands more flexibly.
