Abstract

In this paper, a remote fitting system is proposed for garment e-commerce. The system includes a flexible humanoid robot, an interactive interface, a rotary shooting device and a comfort measuring device. We design a physical fitting robot to simulate body shapes of consumers and replace them to finish the fitting process remotely. The rotary shooting device is designed for taking and processing pictures of fitting results. The comfort measuring device is designed to obtain the pressure values and convert them into comfort information. The processed fitting pictures and comfort information are fed back to the customers as the reference when they buy or customize clothes, which helps to reduce the return rate of online shopping and increase the orders of customized garment. The remote fitting system eliminates the restrictions of geographical location and improves the accuracy of fitting results for garment e-commerce.
