Laundroid robot folds clothes... and undies

2017-01-05
folding laundry yourself is so 2016 meet the laundry this is an automatic robotic folding machine that will actually fold all the clean laundry that you throw into it up to about 30 or 40 clothes now at the moment this demo version that we saw on the show floor at CES can fold pretty much everything but it was only folding one t-shirt at a time in theory when it launches in March it will be able to fold pretty much everything from t-shirts to pants to underwear but not socks unfortunately which is pretty strange but apparently they're really hard to fold even though we can't show you what goes on inside because that's all patented technology it does use artificial intelligence and image analysis to work out exactly what the clothes are and how to fold them individually so once the robot works out what the item actually is it will pick it up with the robotic arm analyze it and then fold it into shape however it does take a long time just to fold one t-shirt it took about five minutes or so and it's not going to be cheap and this big black structure is not the final image that you're going to see of the laundry it's going to change form factor
