Towel-folding robot created by US researchers

My bachelor bot is way faster... It just pulls all the laundry out of the dryer and dumps it in the clean clothes basket.
 
Based on the title I thought it was dumb.

Then I saw that it had to pick up a towel bunched on the ground before folding it and was impressed.

Thank the Lord. Finally, I can do even less physical movement.

Folding towels was cutting into my me time.
 
It doesn't fold them the way I like. I'd have to reprogram it and fuck around getting it to fold a towel the right way. And it takes 25 minutes?

Five accross the eyes and that shit is folded right everytime after.
 
Well sure it takes a long time, but it'll fold those towels to an accuracy of ±0.02 millimeters. :awe:


Fabric is definitely not a fun thing for machines. Hell, I do a pathetic job of folding shirts, and I need a surface on which to rest them during the folding. Though in that respect, it may be possible that I'm just not terribly bright.:hmm:
 
This will be a standard feature in future pleasure bots so they have other uses when you are not home.

Without American research, you would have no internet to troll your empty life away on.

That's about as valid as saying that without America we wouldn't have the a-bomb.

Am I the only one that noticed the volume on that website's video player goes to 11? AWESOME.

Edit: And the way the American says at the end that he doesn't know "exactly what that entails..." he might as well be saying "wtf is a duvet?"

American researchers > Kiwi researchers.

This is fundamentally true.

Historically, anyway.

The capacity for the quality of a single individual to do any particular thing is pretty much equal across humanity and has no bearing on where someone happens to be born (something that no one can control), of course...but this statement also disagrees with you.
