Hair-Washing Robot | Scrappy Robots with Simone Giertz

Besides waking up in the morning, washing my hair is my next, least favorite thing about going back to school. You are in a rush, you just woke up, you don't want to get into the shower, you want to eat and you have like 15 minutes to do all this before you are late for school. So I built a robot to do this for me.

Introducing the Hair Washing Robot!! I built this machine using two arduino uno and servo motors. One motor squeezes the shampoo out of the bottle and the other does the hair washing.

I suctioned this to the shower wall, wet my hair and let her rip! Step 1: plug it in. Step 2: grab toothbrush (since you will be saving so much time, you might as well get ahead and brush your teeth!). Step 3: Open the shampoo bottle. Step 4: PROFIT! :)

Basically this robot just slaps the shampoo around on my head. You will still need to rinse you hair, yourself. And that's basically it! I’m throwing in the towel. My hair is so clean!! Ready to conquer the day!
