so we just might have broken $16,000 laundry folding robot because I insisted on demoing it with a verge t-shirt that I brought and apparently it wasn't really made for that so we're just waiting for it to pop out the t-shirt whenever it's ready I feel really anxious and apologetic and I never meant to harm this machine thank you okay to be fair it is a really complicated piece of technology it's called the laundry by a Japanese company called seven dreamers it's got AI neural networks steep learning it's got robotic arms on the inside that'll pick up the piece of clothing and scan it with the camera in 3d to see what kind of clothing item it is for example this verge t-shirt the robotic arms will pick it up and it would determine which side is the front where's the collar how long are the sleeves this verge t-shirt didn't work because it's black and this demo version is only set up to work with bright colors so it actually works with a companion app that catalogues all of your clothing items for you so when you first set it up you can feed it all of your clothing items and it can even categorize it by household family member it will eventually even have Alexa integration because what doesn't have Alexa integration these days and of course because this is CES laundry isn't the only laundry folding robot here we saw one yesterday called folder mate which is about half the size and around $850 but you have to clip on the clothing individually and who has time for line so should I start saving all my quarters for the coin laundromat or a machine that will fold it off for me for more CES coverage check us out on youtube at youtube.com slash the Virg
