Abstract
A system is disclosed for performing hair transplantation procedures. The system may include a robotic arm and a tool coupled to the robotic arm, the tool configured for hair harvesting, site making or hair implantation. The system further includes a touch screen user interface that supports touch gestures for efficiently creating and manipulating objects, such as reserved regions, that control the harvesting, site making, and/or implantation sites selected by the system. The user interface implements logic rules that use the context in which a touch gesture is performed to determine the type of operation intended. The touch interface substantially eliminates or reduces the need for a user to use a keyboard or mouse during the procedure.
