I watched the promo video somewhere and when folding the blanket, the video cuts and edits were very suspicious. I doubt it can fold a blanket at all.

- jfengel 3mo agoThey do show it folding shirts, which I'd think are harder than blankets. Is your doubt caused by blankets being bigger than shirts? (I didn't see it folding a button-up shirt, only tee-shirts. That's an extra degree of difficult and I do doubt that it can do that.)
- YeGoblynQueenne 3mo agoYeah, again the WYSIWYG model of AI: if you see a robot folding a shirt, that robot can fold that shirt. Maybe it can fold another that's very similar, maybe only different in colour, but don't bet your money on it. A robot folds a shirt and you think it can fold a tee? Not unless it's explicitly trained to fold that one tee, too.
- giarc 3mo agoI think blankets are harder simply because of their size. I often have to "whip" the blanket to get the other end to properly fold on itself. I also use a much large space because of the size (often the floor). Could a robot fold a big blanket? Probably? But what is the success rate going to be? If I just have to refold it 50% of the time, is that actually worth it?
