In Silicon Valley, Boston and other places in the United States, a number of innovative companies are active in the frontiers of beauty technology and synthetic biotechnology. It is one of the innovation centers of beauty and cosmetics in the United States and even in the world.
The daily life of modern people is increasingly dependent on artificial intelligence, and the beauty industry is no exception. For example, beauty cameras using AR technology can quickly change makeup and hairstyles, or use big data analysis to customize more accurate personalized skin care products. Progress is unknowingly changing people's living habits.
According to statistics, each consumer in Europe and the United States spends about 1,200 US dollars per year on extension and maintenance of eyelashes, generating a total global market of at least 20 billion US dollars, which even surpasses Botox.
LUUM 's eyelash beauty robot combines computer vision, artificial intelligence and robotics, which can shorten the original two and a half hours of eyelash extension time to 20 minutes, even faster than manual extension.
The robot uses a complex algorithm to make the positional error of the eyelash extension accurate to +/- 10 microns. The computer system can analyze each customer's eyeball shape and eyelash arrangement, and can even make dynamic judgments based on subtle changes in the external environment and facial muscle movements to formulate a unique eyelashes program.

The third-generation robot LT3 will be officially unveiled in December this year. The new version of the robot can complete a complete set of eyelash extensions, even 1.3 times faster than a skilled eyelash artist. In 2023, LT4 will also be launched, which is smaller in size, will be 4 times faster than humans, and will launch more, more beautiful, and more natural eyelash styles for everyone to choose from.
Since the LUUM robot uses a lot of artificial intelligence technology, each subsequent generation update will be faster and smaller. The original intention of LUUM to design this machine is not to use it to replace the hand-made eyelashes extension, but to improve work efficiency and reduce repetitive work, so that artist can have more time to focus on customer service and eyelashes Design.
The life of modern people is fast-paced, the service time is shortened, and the quality of customer service is improved, customers are naturally more willing to do eyelashes , and the store can achieve more profits.
LUUM co-founder and CEO Nathan Harding and co-founder Kurt Amundson are both UC Berkeley alumni. Before founding LUUM, Nathan founded the medical device company Ekso Bionics. The company specializes in providing rehabilitation-specific extracorporeal mechanical skeletons for survivors of stroke and spinal cord injury. Ekso Bionics was successfully launched in January 2014.
Nathan also led the team to develop many high-speed automation equipment, including the world's fastest offshore pipeline welding system, fiber draw tower take-up, fiber test machines and semiconductor FOUP buffers. Nathan currently holds 26 US and international patents.
