Positioning system and methods for use with automated hair cutting systems

A method for dynamically positioning a moveable component of a hair cutting system, the method comprising:

• providing a positioning system comprising:
• a frame configured to rest on a head of a user;
• a plurality of frame supports secured to the frame, said plurality of frame supports configured to removably engage with a part of the head of the user, which secures the frame on the head of the user;
• a plurality of positioning interfaces positioned along said frame;
• at least one sensor attached to the moveable component;
• engaging at least one of the plurality of frame supports to a part of the head of the user;
• interfacing the plurality of positioning interfaces with the at least one sensor;
• establishing an origin position of said at least one sensor relative to said frame;
• computing a plurality of positioning ranges between said plurality of positioning interfaces on said frame and said at least one sensor;
• and
• selecting at least two of said plurality of positioning ranges for determining one or more positions of said at least one sensor as said moveable component moves relative to said frame;
• wherein said moveable component is used to cut or manipulate hair.

A positioning system, for use with a hair cutting system comprising:

• a frame configured to rest on a head of a user;
• a plurality of frame supports secured to the frame, the plurality of frame supports are configured to removably engage with a part of the head of the user, which secures the frame on the head of the user;
• and
• a plurality of positioning interfaces positioned along said frame;
• and
• a moveable component comprising at least one sensor, said moveable component configured to cut or manipulate hair;
• wherein the plurality of positioning interfaces communicate with the at least one sensor to determine a plurality of positioning ranges;
• wherein a first subset of said plurality of positioning ranges are used to at least partially determine a first position of the at least one sensor;
• wherein a second subset of said plurality of positioning ranges are used to at least partially determine a second position of the at least one sensor;
• wherein the first subset and the second subset of said plurality of positioning ranges are different;
• and,
• wherein the first position and the second position of the at least one sensor are different.
