    How come everyone on lemmy thinks after you put your dirty clothes in the washing machine that the machine magically folds your clothes and puts them away?

    Tell me you don’t wash your own clothes without telling me you don’t wash your own clothes.

    Holla at me when there’s an AI clothes robot.

      Holla at me when there’s an AI clothes robot.

      It’s a hard problem, but some of the scientists of all time are working on it:

      NPR timelapse gif animation from 2015 of BRETT the "Berkeley Robot for the Elimination of Tedious Tasks" taking 10 minutes to fold a towel

      It took a decade for FoldiMate to admit defeat and declare bankruptcy, but Laundroid accomplished the same task in only four years - so, soon, we could have robotics companies able to give up in under a year!
