We could always just move the goalposts a bit. I don't need my clothes folded, I'd be over the moon with a robot that can wash and dry my clothes, then spread them loosely and haphazardly over a "clothes shelf" or something, just spread out enough that I can pick what I need out of the pile without rummaging.

So, what you want is, er, a washer-dryer which performs the additional task of tipping the clothes on the floor when it's done? Washer-dryers exist; they're very common in some European countries. The clothes ejection feature sounds like a minor addition.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't need Rosie The Robot, maybe just a nifty conveyor belt system or something.
