Smart overview of the Invention

The automated cosmetic application system integrates advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and computer vision to revolutionize the makeup application process. This system comprises a robotic component, one or more cosmetic applicators, and a facial mapping module. It is designed to capture real-time facial landmark data, generate a personalized three-dimensional facial map, and control a robotic applicator for direct makeup application. The system caters to user preferences or pre-programmed makeup styles, ensuring efficient, consistent, and customizable cosmetic application while minimizing manual effort.

Technological Components

This innovative system utilizes AI, AR, and facial mapping to enhance the makeup application experience. The robotic arm applicator and optional custom 3D-printed mask applicator are supported by a user interface for aesthetic profile management. A biometric user identification module authenticates users, storing preferences and scheduling reminders for facial remapping to maintain accuracy. These features ensure the system adapts to user preferences and delivers consistent results over time.

Benefits and Objectives

The system aims to provide precise, efficient, and customizable makeup application through automation and personalization. It supports users with limited cosmetic experience or physical ability, reducing the time and effort required for makeup application. High-resolution imaging and computer vision algorithms capture and process unique facial geometries, ensuring a tailored application experience. Users can choose between robotic arm application or custom printed mask application post-facial mapping.

Customization Options

The system offers a variety of application modes, including robotic arm application and custom printed masks. These masks can be 3D-printed with an inner cosmetic transfer layer, or designed as single-layer or dual-layer 2D masks with cosmetic transfer layers. Additional options include moisture-activated cosmetic transfer masks and semi-rigid custom masks with flaps for specific facial areas, enhancing the personalization and versatility of the makeup application process.

Addressing Prior Art Limitations

Previous cosmetic application systems have been limited in versatility and personalization, often lacking effective adaptation to individual facial contours. The present system addresses these limitations by incorporating advanced AI mapping techniques and biometric remapping to accommodate long-term facial changes. It also offers more sanitary options for multi-user environments, with disposable components to prevent cross-contamination, making it suitable for commercial settings like salons and therapeutic care facilities.
