In the domain of hardware, what is the equivalent of a harness? How well would this generalise to any robot, versus one that is specifically built the way Xiaomi did?

#42The first few second of the shirt folding arms trying to put the t-shirt properly on the table to start folding it are at the same time amusing and scaring.
What if the thing retrieves some anger-driven post from Reddit from its training data set and start literally to flip the table??

#43Of 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?
It's meant for war. Today it folds your clothes, tomorrow it plants mines and shoots at you on a battlefield.
What?
There's already a better system today: mine launchers (remote minelaying system)

#44Coining the term: Slopfold When you Robot folds your clothes but it's kinda wrinkly and sloppy but you accept it anyway because it's easier than precisely folded and pressed clothes.
How privileged was your upbringing?

Funny you mentioned H&M. They are boycotted on China due to their public stance against slave labour:

It is important to remember that China is not only about open weight LLMs, fastest cars and flying taxis. There is still a lot of very serious human right abuse going on in this country.

Sorting and folding laundry is one of the most tedious chores in our household. Do you have kids?
If I did have kids, I probably wouldn’t want them to run around a big heavy robot with very little spatial awareness.

Come back when you have a family and you run a washing machine full of clothes per day.
Don't you just throw all the washing into the washing machine, wait for it to actually do the work, and then hang it all up afterwards? It's like a 15 minute job max.

I don't know why you would assume privilege from a comment like that. If anything, it's the unprivileged kids who would know that you'd get your hand slapped for folding clothes like that.
