Most of us are not going to buy a humanoid robot to do our laundry but it is nice to have the option. Figure’s humanoid which is based on the Helix architecture can fold laundry autonomously. This architecture is for solving logistics tasks but can be applied directly to laundry folding.
As the company explains:
Helix learned to maintain eye contact, direct its gaze, and use learned hand gestures while engaging with people
Without any architectural change, robots can pick towels from a pile, adjust folding strategies based on starting configurations, and recover from errors.
