I saw such robot's demos doing exactly that on youtube/x - not very precisely yet, but almost sufficiently enough. And it is just a beginning. Considering that majority of the laundry is very similar (shirts, t-shirts, trousers, etc..) I think this will be solved soon with enough training.
- hn_throwaway_99 2y agoCan you share what you've seen? Because from what I've seen, I'm far from convinced. E.g. there is this, https://youtube.com/shorts/CICq5klTomY https://youtube.com/shorts/CICq5klTomY , which nominally does what I've described. Still, as impressive as that is, I think the distance from what that robot does to what a human can do is a lot farther than it seems. Besides noticing that the folded clothes are more like a neatly arranged pile, what about all the edge cases? What about static cling? Can it match socks? What if something gets stuck in the dryer? I'm just very wary of looking at that video and saying "Look! It's 90% of the way there! And think how fast AI advances!", because that critical last 10% can often be harder than the first 90% and then some.
