Will the ARTAS Hair Transplant Robot Ever Be Able to Place the Grafts?

Dr. Rassman
I saw a story that showed a hair transplant using the ARTAS system. The only downside to ARTAS is the machine only extracts grafts and doesn’t place them. I know you mentioned you had a patent to placing the grafts once they are extracted. Any idea on when Restoration Robotics will use that patent of yours?

The folks at Restoration Robotics know about my patents for placement of grafts. I am not privileged to know what they have planned for future versions of their ARTAS system, but I am sure that they will eventually automate the placement of grafts.

I don’t know how far along, if at all, they are with going down that path, but it would be the next logical step in their automation process.
