Panasonic's 16-Finger, Hair-Washing Robot

Posted by timothy on from the now-with-even-more-fingers dept.

angry tapir writes "Panasonic has developed a hair-washing robot that uses 16 electronically controlled fingers to give a perfect wash and rinse. The robot, images of which were distributed by Panasonic, appears to be about the size of a washing machine. Users sit in a reclining chair and lean back to place their head in the machine's open top. Two robot arms guide the 16 fingers, which have the same dexterity as human fingers, the company claims."

    This, and its usage, was pretty much covered in the latest episode of The Big Bang Theory.
