The video was originally posted by Winghton on his YouTube channel Stuff Made Here a few years ago. A part of the video recently made its way onto Reddit and has fascinated people.
Why did the engineer create the robot?
“The possibilities for this kind machine are endless with the most interesting things being haircuts that are too hard for human hair cutters to achieve. Imagine a mathematically perfect fade from one side of your head to another. Or imagine if I added a trimmer to this and cut the perfect lithophane pattern into your hair. I consider this the first-generation machine and hope to build another to explore some of the crazier haircut concepts. A colleague suggested adding a precision hair dying attachment and doing some crazy multi-colour hairstyles. I wouldn’t say that’s really ‘my jam’ but I might try it in the name of science & engineering,” Wighton wrote while posting the YouTube video.
The video was reshared on Reddit about 22 hours ago with a caption that reads, “Getting a robot to cut your hair”.
