I want the arm to wander around my house, pick up articles of loose clothing and put them into washing machine. Then pull them out and spread them on a drying hanger. How far away from that are we?
It has been here for several millennia... it even has two legs to walk around and two rotating cameras connected to a very powerful LLM...
Anyone who finds this interesting might also like this one, it‘s not DIY – comes fully assembled: https://www.waveshare.com/roarm-m2-s.htm I have one and the build quality is really impressive for the price point.
How is the software support?

Nice. What do you use it for?

A decade at most?
Does anyone have any suggestions on something that's a little higher quality, i.e. more torque and larger, like the size of a UR5 but cheaper than $30k? There's always seems to be a gap between "robot arm with dynamixels/off the shelf servos" and "research-grade arms".

I printed a robotic arm for school. Unfortunately, we weren't using a high quality enough printer, so the tolerances were off and things didn't slot together well. I'd recommend people to know the precision of their printer before setting off to build this.
Alternatively, make everything just a tad out of tolerance and drill/sand/machine it to a more precise size.

I have a dobot mg400 but there are quite a few others: uFactory, elephant robotics, annin, dorna, epson (vt6L and their scaras), and lynxmotion is releasing their ses-v2.

Probably not UR5 size, but Aloha robot arm sounds like something you might be interested in: https://www.trossenrobotics.com/aloha-kits
