Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) has become a popular hair transplanting method for solving male-pattern baldness problem. Manually harvesting hairs one by one, however, is a tedious and time-consuming job to doctors. We design an accurate hair harvesting robot with a novel and efficient end-effector which consists of one digital microscope and a punch device. The microscope is first employed to automatically localize target hairs and then guides the punch device for harvesting after shifting. The end-effector shows average bias and precision of 0.014 mm by virtue of a rotary guidance design for the motorized shifting mechanism.
毛囊单位提取（FUE）已成为解决男性型秃发问题的一种流行的毛发移植方法。然而，对医生来说，一根一根地手动采集毛发是一项繁琐且耗时的工作。我们设计了一种精确的毛发采集机器人，它具有一种新颖且高效的末端执行器，该末端执行器由一台数字显微镜和一个打孔装置组成。显微镜首先用于自动定位目标毛发，然后在移位后引导打孔装置进行采集。由于电动移位机构采用了旋转导向设计，该末端执行器的平均偏差和精度为0.014毫米。
