The robot’s two arms scan the head in 3D as they move and measure and remember the head shape to apply just the right amount of pressure to each person when shampooing and washing.
Once it has an idea of the unique shape of the customer’s head, it applies hot water and shampoo and uses its 16 digits to wash the customer’s hair.
