Autonomous Hair Clippers

#idea#video

Brief Description

Autonomous hair clippers that detect where they are on your head, and automatically change the guard length to allow men to give themselves a perfect haircut within minutes. The project has two main parts:

• modified hairclippers with a motorized guard and sensors
• application that allows user to select what type of haircut they want, and handles processing for realtime changes

i think this is the process:

• we first find out how to make a motorized guard

• then we don’t do any localization/cv stuff and instead just increase the guard length over time and go up

• then we can ask people to take a video of their head, make a NERF, then train a model to classify a real image vs the one in the NERF space that way we know where on the head we are

• Clipper with rotating base and taper guard: https://www.amazon.ca/Ceenwes-Professional-Cordless-Waterproof-Hairdressing/dp/B08B4HXGY9/ref=sr_1_23?crid=3BIR65TC7Y97G&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.loALfng9tlslHZQf05t_fnFSMHs778Qe599kqcElO-SNpoOg64zcZqPEuGWsdMCi8lrOpl51SggQB-2Fbm9msnNqfiURKt9rgh3ixri08szxTqD_TQLtxpttKlkC72o3WlsBTVsRP7QvAGhFnVZeeprsK_SsKiPysQiHLE8DK_SDocNK3nlMWnFBJYn-C4W2_wkdlIvIyYvye1bFXhfXU1P9kGh5KEMFpTtJWEMzMEG1ueehLZWwiyQ3bRFPRTlUo4Tbr_A8y7fbpK90SF3XPkf_pWRw9NtOxZIQ7IlU9ec.hyIlIUD7F9C_m3KKtIOAEK4_YSci7YY5nVXwQpAawDE&dib_tag=se

Problems:

• the user could move the clippers too fast
• can’t give fades on a wig

System:

• find out where on the head

Todo

• add zeroing
• add debug mode that shows all the info
• fix quarternion math
• design and print servo iteration

Video

1. Intro to the idea
   1. Pretty much the exact same as the presentation
      1. Would be pretty cool to do a transition where I’m explaining it in the video, and then it seamlessly goes to the presentation
2. Intro to Chinemerem
   1. “But we need a drip king for this”—bringing in chinemerem
3. Mention world record speed
4. Mention symposium, and start a timer
