I looked at this because we've mostly given up folding clothes with our 3 kids. I watched a video of that machine and it seems to be more for people who hate the act of folding clothes instead of people who don't have the time to fold clothes.
In comparison, our Roomba is a time saver because it means we don't have to do anything at all to vacuum every day.
- Ajedi32 8y agoYeah, the fact that you can't just dump a pile of cloths into the machine and get neatly folded stacks out the bottom makes it far less useful IMO. Still might save _some_ time, but not nearly as much as you might expect.

Building a [plausibly person-sized] robot that can reliably manage the entire laundry cycle end-to-end is hard to imagine doing on current tech no matter how much money you have. We're only going to see these sort of semi-partial solutions for a long time to come.
