HAIR CUTTING TECHNIQUES FOR AUTOMATED HAIR CUTTING SYSTEM

摘要

Various aspects of automated grooming systems and cutting devices are disclosed. One embodiment of an automated grooming system comprises a computing device; a cutting device comprising a handle having a proximal and distal end and a cutting head positioned near the distal end of the handle; and a plurality of positioning sensors configured to send signals to the computing device relaying the position of the cutting head relative to a surface having hair extending therefrom. The computing device may be configured to receive the signals from the positioning device and prepare instructions for actuation of the cutting device. In some embodiments, the cutting device comprises a processor configured to receive the prepared instructions from the computing device and actuate the cutting device according to the prepared instructions.

主权项

1. A cutting device for use with an automated hair cutting system, comprising:
a handle having a proximal and distal end; a cutting head positioned near the distal end of the handle, the cutting head comprising:
a cutting instrument, said cutting instrument having a plurality of cutter knives, said cutter knives configured having a sharp angled edge on at least one side thereof; anda comb coupled proximate the cutting instrument, said comb having a first and second end and a plurality of teeth positioned therebetween, wherein the plurality of teeth and at least one of the first and second end have a sharp angled edge on an inner side thereof;wherein the sharp angled edges of the cutter knives are configured to engage the sharp angled edges of the plurality of teeth when the cutting instrument is actuated; and at least one positioning sensor configured to interact with the automated hair cutting system, said interaction comprising at least one signal indicating the position of the cutting head relative to a surface having hair extending therefrom.
