PR2 is a laundry-folding robot, who currently specialises in folding towels after much deep thought. This laundro-bot (whose task in life is officially described as “Cloth Grasp Detection based on multiple-view Geometric Cues with Application to Towel Folding”) can only fold towels for now and very slowly at that, but it’s a great start at finding the perfect companion for my washing machine.
