Laundroid laundry-folding robot

Published on Jan 10, 2018


Laundroid lets users drop in a load of laundry, and uses cameras, artificial intelligence, and multiple robot arms to determine the best way to fold clothes. It takes about 5-10 minutes to fold one t-shirt and it costs $16,000, so you’d better have a lot of both time and money.
