Well, and for most people, it's not even really a "folding clothes problem." It's take everything upstairs. Put these socks in that drawer. Hang this shirt on that closet. Hang or fold these pants and put them in the right place. Repeat for each item. It's actually a move a lot of things around the house and put them away in the right way in the right place problem. Oh, and do it cheaply, because very few people are going to pay thousands of dollars for your put clothes away robot.
