The video cuts to a new shot every couple of second instead of one continuous shot like all robotics research. This makes it hard to trust it. The robot probably failed a million team and they stitched the video from 100 experiments.

The uncut video is at the bottom of the page.

Of all the tasks I do, folding clothes takes a ridiculously small slice of my time. Is this and all the other robotics videos aimed at H&M staff?

I think its a ubiquitous task which requires some amount of precision dexterity, so its an easy to digest example.

WAIC has been wild this year. We got Kimi K3 and Qwen 3.8 announced. We got robots boxing and open-sourced robotics foundation models. And we got the announcement of WAICO.

At what point are we gonna start seeing American firms attending WAIC?

Sorting and folding laundry is one of the most tedious chores in our household. Do you have kids?

Designing a non humanoid robot is the way to go. The design of new tools and appliances for hybrid human/robot use will eventually follow: the zip line for the shoe bag required way too much precision work.

Does this require a given hardware platform, or for example, could I run this model with a cheap mini robot with a single camera (i.e. good enough without depth), tracked treads, and an arm?

I’d imagine the training is hardware specific

A lot of smaller chores look trivial when considered in isolation, but have disproportionate time and mental cost because of how they fit in the flow of life. Sometimes the effect is similar to interrupting an engineer for a couple of minutes.
