Inspiration

Motor-impaired individuals face from huge difficulties to impossibility when it comes to independently applying makeup on themselves.

What it does

  • The robot will apply makeup with the same level of precision and artistry as a human makeup artist and with the highest level of safety.
  • Thanks to Facial recognition, the AI will consider each user's specific features and make decisions about the appropriate products and amount of makeup to apply.
  • The user interface will allow users to interact with the makeup robot through voice or touch screen, including validating the makeup through virtual try-on capability. This interface could be in the form of a mobile application and a touch screen on the robot itself.

How we built it

The robot design has considered to have:

  • High ergonomic – allowing the robot to apply the makeup with highest precision level.
  • Friendly look – user must feel comfortable about the robot look.
  • " High-touch" look – the robot look must inspire prestige beauty and feel as part of any modern home.

The robot hardware, components and technology include:

  • Sensors and chips.
  • Inertial measurement units & torque sensors.
  • Precision reducers.
  • Other body material parts.
  • Servomotors and motor drives.
  • Battery and battery control system.
  • Camera with facial recognition.
  • Wiring from cartridges to "hand" dispensers.
  • Cartridges holders and levels control system.
  • "Hand" Dispensers flexible tool system.
  • Artificial Intelligence.
  • Machine Learning.
  • Communication capabilities (voice & touch screen).
  • User Interface.
  • Motion planning and control software.
  • Sensor fusion and perception software.

Challenges we ran into

  • Differentiating our idea from other existing initiatives of makeup robots in the market.
  • Developing a robot that can apply makeup with the same level of precision and artistry as a human makeup artist.
  • Balancing complexity and affordability while developing a suitable marketing strategy.
  • The safety of the robot when working near a person's face, as the robot would need to be designed with safety features such as sensors that can detect when it is too close to a person's eyes or mouth.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Taking a rough idea to a real and innovative concept of a makeup robot that we strongly believe could be built, make an impact in the field of accessible beauty and be affordable.
  • Our robot increases the accessibility to beauty products for people having motor impairments disability.
  • Our robot brings higher accessibility and inclusivity than other initiatives we have seen in the market. It also covers a wider range of beauty products.

What we learned

  • Bringing new and creative concept among other makeup robots initiatives.
  • More awareness of multiple types of disabilities and issues faced by disabled persons.
  • More knowledge about creating robots, both on hardware/components and technology areas.

What's next for b'ESTEE – The Robotic Makeup Solution

  • After applying to Ideathon, next step would be to turn our idea into reality by actively be involved in the design and manufacturing of this amazing robot.
  • Integrate the b'ESTEE robots into the landscape of ELC stores, beauty salons and individuals' homes.
