Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop an assistive robot for applying make-up. The developed robot consists of a frame for the human face and a robotic brush unit. The robotic brush consists of a cosmetic with two motors and a spring. The motors are used to control the direction of the brush on the face, while the spring controls the force of the brush on the face. The robot is designed to safely interact with the human face by reducing the complexity of its components and control method. We tested the robot on a mannequin head to verify its performance and safety. A pilot study with a single participant was also conducted to evaluate the human-robot interaction.
