The Gentle Hairbrushing Robot!
This is disturbing and awful news for parents who get sick pleasure from hearing their children scream out in pain while brushing the knots out of their hair. Because a robot is trying to take away your joy! Brains at MIT and Harvard joined forces to create a robot that can analyze your hair type and decide the best way to detangle your hair without you screaming your insides out from the pain of it all. Meet RoboWig, which sounds like a zero-budget remake of RoboCop starring Kim Zolciak, but it’s a robot that’ll brush your hair’s way to pretty without causing you pain. Allegedly.
MIT News says that scientists at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Soft Math Lab at Harvard University got together to create a hair brushing robot to help out healthcare workers. They say that nurses spend about 18 to 40 percent of their time performing “direct patient tasks” like brushing hair, so RoboWig can help with that. RoboWig can apparently take on any kind of hair type, and after it analyzes what kind of hair you have, it chooses the best brush to use and goes at it. So far they’ve only tested it on wigs. Here’s how RoboWig works in nerd talk:
To brush and manipulate the hair, the researchers added a soft-bristled sensorized brush to the robot arm, to allow forces during brushing to be measured. They combined this setup with something called a “closed-loop control system,” which takes feedback from an output and automatically performs an action without human intervention. This created “force feedback” from the brush — a control method that lets the user feel what the device is doing — so the length of the stroke could be optimized to take into account both the potential “pain,” and time taken to brush.
Initial tests preserved the human head — for now — and instead were done on a number of wigs of various hair styles and types. The model provided insight into the behaviors of the combing, related to the number of entanglements, and how those could be efficiently and effectively brushed out by choosing appropriate brushing lengths. For example, for curlier hair, the pain cost would dominate, so shorter brush lengths were optimal.
They plan to test RoboWig on humans soon. In the meantime, here’s a video of RoboWig taking on three kinds of wigs:
It’s only a matter of time before an MIT nerd posts a TikTok of RoboWig brushing their pubes. But seriously, I don’t know about this…. I mean, one minute RoboWig will be gently brushing your hair like you’re a 19th-century noblewoman and it’s your confidante, and the next minute it’ll try to yank your head off in the name of the robot takeover!
