Abstract Background and Objective: The robot-assisted automatic laser hair removal (LHR) system is developed to automatically detect any arbitrary shape of the desired LHR treatment area provide uniform irradiation designated skin area.For delivery energy, a unit commercial device, distance sensor, high-resolution webcam are attached at six axis industrial robot's end-effector, which can be easily controlled using graphical user interface (GUI). During treatment, provides real-time progress as well total number "pick place" automatically.During test, it was demonstrated that shapes were detected, delivered uniformly. localization error test area-per-spot produced satisfactory outcome averages 1.04 mm 38.22 mm(2)/spot, respectively.RESULTS showed successfully accuracy effectiveness. proposed expected become promising device in treatment.
