Abstract
A method for harvesting follicular units from a body surface, includes acquiring and processing images of a body surface to identify a follicular unit on the body surface and to determine a relative position and orientation of the identified folliculat unit; using an automated system including a moveable arm to position a harvesting tool mounted on the moveable arm adjacent the identified follicular unit, based at least in part on processed image data, such that a longitudinal axis of the harvesting tool is aligned with a longitudinal axis of the follicular unit; and harvesting the follicular unit by movement of the harvesting tool relative to the body surface, wherein the images are acquired from one or more cameras mounted on the moveable arm.
