Very impressive demo! The laundry folding stood out to me in particular. I remember the NPR show Planet Money did a show many years ago about how difficult making a reliable laundry folding robot really is.

Thank you! (Generalist staff here). I should note that many other companies have shown t-shirt folding at this point; however, the significance of us showing it here is not that we can do it, but rather we can do it as one of many tasks, and do it with mastery.

That's a pretty gen-eric name. Runway has the same problem.

The intricate and what looks like soft handling of closing the boxes, using the 2nd finger gently, as well as turning the washer to fit in the slot stood out to me.

Though I was curious about fitting the belt into the square slot. Did it have a map of where the belt was supposed to go? Or was it able to figure out itself that it would bend to fit in that slot?

In Japan, the robot isn't coming for your job; it's filling the one nobody wants
