Arms in question: [1]<p>TIL Dynamixel servos can be had for less than $ALL_YOUR_BUDGET!<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jess-moss&#x2F;koch-v1-1">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jess-moss&#x2F;koch-v1-1</a>

Very cool, many of us here, I&#x27;m sure have dreamt of this sort of thing whenever we fold clothes, but you&#x27;ve made it a reality.<p>Hope to see rapid progress on this!

This imitates a human who does a mediocre job of folding shirts. This shirt will end up wrinkled.<p>I’d be much more interested to see either:<p>- a robot trained on experienced clothing retail sales associates (can fold a shirt like this in a single movement), or<p>- a non-human folding technique optimized for the robot arms (having multiple fingers and more arm+hand mobility is part of what makes the human single-move fold possible).<p>Source: Have worked at Gap, Nordstrom, others…

They should first have researched how to quickly fold a t-shirt. It can be done in two seconds with little handling and some practise. I guess even by using only two robot arms. See for example <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;uz6rjbw0ZA0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;uz6rjbw0ZA0</a>

Put it on wheels. Give it a chute for dirty clothes.<p>I&#x27;d happily pay 10x this ($3,000) to never do laundry again if it meant nicely folded clothes would always await me in my closet.

It&#x27;s probably easier to build an automated folding table than going through the robotic arm route?

Wouldn&#x27;t the hard part be grabbing the shirt from the pile and spreading it out flat?

so what limits the speed of the robots? is it computation? or is it mechanics?
