I like robots.
I suspect many people don't share the same amazement I do watching them.
Trying to control movement and understanding the movement of other objects is not an easy task. Humans and many other animals have developed skills that are difficult for a chunk of machinery to perform.
After you watch this clip (no sound in it) I bet many of you would like to own this robot. I wish I had developed this.

I had a boyfriend who folded clothes that precisely. Bad memories there.
Actually, it is so uncannily similar, I just had to send him the You Tube link.
amazing what triggers a memory
This is definitely the face of laundry in the future. If they ever make such a device cost friendly, I can see every house owning one. Unless of course, you like doing laundry.
That is a really cute robot. I would like to see its creator.
I read somewhere that this robot takes hours to fold a few things. Who cares? It could take all the time it wants. And maybe I could teach it to do windows!
that's right it could fold the clothes while you sleep. My wife thought it was slow, but I pointed out it's not getting paid by the hour.
That is pretty amazing. That robot is better at folding towels than I am. Stores could "hire" them to keep shelves tidy.
that's an interesting idea. I bet the first store to use one would get free PR from the news media.
I don't mind the folding part. It's the filling the washer and dryer that suck for me. I could use one for dusting too. I hate dusting. Cool robot!
:)
this nice post
I love this robot, where can I get one? I hate folding laundry more than any other household chore.
My daughter is fascinated with Asimo. Have you seen him? There are some pretty cool videos of him on YouTube.
thanks - I suspect right now for the cost of the robot you could send you clothes out to be cleaned and folded.
Asimo - he's a marvel -
Back in 2007 I posted my favorite Asimo ad and one of my own.

I suspect that you're an electrical engineer, so why not tinker around with some extra parts you have lying around the garage? I remember a caller to the Car Guys on NPR: he said he'd rebuilt so many VW bugs that he had enough parts left over to build one from scratch. I got a real kick out of that.
I'd get a kick out of watching that robot fold king-size bedsheets.
bedsheet size would require some modification.
Yes I'm a EE with most all of my career in telecom which if you didn't notice had a boom bust cycle. Maybe some of the busted pieces will start to come together.
I do play around with old spare parts (not body parts - electronic parts) and have put together a few things. I started another blog called Broken Gadget but I need to put more into that one. Here's a link
