Drones and the Future of Robotic hairdressers
Overview
As technology evolves, so too does its application in various sectors. Interestingly, drones and robotics have found a place in the beauty industry as potential future hairdressers. A 2019 study shows that robot market revenue worldwide is expected to increase to $498 billion by 2025. While still in its infancy, the development and innovation in robotic hairdressing are promising and reflect the potential growth in this unique application for robotics.
Drone and Robotic Technology Impact
In recent years, drone technology has seen impressive growth. With global drone unit sales expected to reach 4.6 million units by 2025, it's clear that the capabilities of these devices are only beginning to be realized. In the beauty industry, drones and robots have potential. IBM has patented a robotic hairdresser, while drones have been used to create innovative hairstyles in art projects. This growth in technology has paved the way for robotic hairdressing to become a possibility in the future.
Job Creation and Replacement
Despite concerns about robots taking over jobs, the implementation of drones and robots in hairdressing could create new opportunities. According to a study by Deloitte, 75% percent of UK businesses intend to invest in AI and robotics by the mid-2020s. This investment could change the landscape of many industries, including hairdressing. While the physical tasks of hairdressing may be replaced, there will be a need for human supervision- creating an entirely new kind of job in the sector.
