How do you handle this? Are there any tools or techniques you use? Can I get a folding robot?
I drink a can of Monster, put on some heavy metal and then fold aggressively.
Can I get a folding robot?
Probably if cost is not a limiting factor. Baxter [1] and others could probably be taught how to fold clothes. Baxter is said to be around $22K. It's probably cheaper to hire someone unless one was folding clothes non-stop.

Personally, it was the time sink that bothered me so I bought a washer and drier to put in my office. It is still a slight inconvenience but doesn't eat into my leisure time as it did before.
If you don't have a private office then, as comment below, you can simply pay someone at the laundry place to do it of you.
Reduce the laundry you need to do. I only own three outfits. Hand washing a single outfit every day takes less than 10 minutes. Costs nothing. Hang dry. No folding.
