Robotic technology is slowly making its way from more structured environments to less structured ones. Most of the work in factories is now done by robots. The invasion of warehouses is underway (and I'm helping with that). Probably you'll be seeing robots stocking shelves in retail. And folding clothes is substantially harder than stocking shelves and you, the consumer, aren't willing to pay nearly as much for a robot to fold your clothes as a store is for a robot because the amount of labor being replaced is much smaller. So it'll be a while.
