If you find it difficult to choose cosmetic products, AI robots in South Korea can assist by analyzing your skin and creating custom products on-site.
South Korean cosmetics giant AmorePacific has developed a robotic arm-based, AI-powered makeup manufacturing system that helps you find cosmetics tailored to your needs.
Traditionally, cosmetics were chosen based on brand recognition, packaging, user reviews, and store staff recommendations. However, these methods offered a limited range of options and often fell short of meeting individual needs or skin conditions.
AmorePacific said it offers a wider-than-usual selection of using AI to recommend a customer's best fit from 205 different skin foundation or 366 different lip product colors, with technology that scans skin under non-laboratory conditions using data gathered over 78 years of the company's history, and makes the product on the spot using a specialized robotic machine in the store.
Yang Yong Suk, principal researcher at South Korea's Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), said that AI algorithms are expected to enable a faster pace of product launches.
Reservations are fully booked by customers who want skin and lip products customized for them by the latest technology.
This technology has received the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023 Innovation Award in the Robotics category.
Its research paper on the AI-based skin diagnosis system was published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science in December last year.
The market for using AI in beauty and cosmetics industries is forecasted to grow from $3.27 billion in 2023 to $8.1 billion in 2028 as services such as personalized beauty recommendations, skin analysis and diagnostics, virtual makeup artists as well as social media influences expand, analysis provider Business Research Company said.
