How much would you be willing to pay for a machine that folds laundry? At least as much as the machine that washes them, I imagine.

So far the only machines that have come even remotely close to being able to fold laundry (and they aren't very good) have humanoid arms.

I could be wrong but I dont think it is reasonable that a humanoid would ever track in price with a washing machine. A washing machine only has a few moving parts while a humanoid is going to be more similar to a car in terms of complexity (though less on parts)

There are some machines that fold laundry. They don't seem that impressive now. But I imagine if they haven't already - laundry pick-up/delivery services will roll these out.
