Robot with scissors and razor blade, what could go wrong?

That will be solved with IPL, which has been invented decades ago. No need of blades.

Does this answer your question/concern?

But IPL is used for Hair Removal treatment not a haircut + you need a special gel over your skin to make sure that the beam doesn't burn your skin. You sure about the technology?

I guess if you only had one style selection (bald) this might work.
