David Chapman added,
fun fact: Boston Dynamics doesn't use neural networks for motion planning
That doesn’t surprise me. I’ve been following Marc Raibert’s work for decades, and his approach has always been rooted in control theory. NB that Sawyer is not a Boston Dynamics product, it’s Rethink Robotics (founded by Rod Brooks).
Incidentally, when I asked Eugenio Culurciello about good applications for his work on neural networks, his *first* answer was robotic arms cooking meals for people. 
Anyway, if you want a haircut with the kind of trimmer (often called "beard trimmers") that robot is using, you can do it yourself in about 60 seconds.
Still, nice work on that robot arm control, for sure.
Yes… I know many vaguely-autistic people who do that, exactly in order to avoid having to talk to hair-cutting professionals, who apparently feel that providing normie social interaction is part of the service
