A Study on the Development of Smart Fitting Robot System

In our lives, manikins are manufactured to fit the user's standards and body type and are produced and distributed in standardized sizes and used in clothing stores. In general, the clothing we use is displayed on a manikin made to fit a specific body type, the user selects the clothing, tries it on, and selects and purchases the clothing. From the user's perspective, the user has to have a process of trying on the clothing because the clothing size and the user's body size are different, and the user is subject to time and space constraints. To complement this, this paper proposed a fitting robot system that automatically drives a fixed manikin to fit the user's body size. The proposed system is shown to be applicable to the body sizes of various users by presenting a prototype in which the main parts were realistically implemented, designed, and manufactured. In the future, we plan to conduct research to ensure that the proposed fitting robot system has precise physical conditions so that users can indirectly select clothing by operating the robot system based on the purchaser's body size to try on the desired clothing without actually trying on the actual clothing.
