North recently tried ironing. This week: shirt folding. 👕 Unlike ironing, folding is a skill even the most reluctant of our engineers have mastered. Notice how smooth the hand movements are. Clothes deserve some respect. 😉

Is this a simulation or the actual robot? It feels very smooth.

when you realize that the robot has to understand and manipulate an object with virtually endless possible shapes while folding a cloth is really impressive!

Hands look really cool actually. A content idea: If robot supports, compare them with BrainCo and Inspire Hands for the same task. Cuz seems like yours is superior.

Cloth gives you no fixed geometry, so the smooth handling is impressive and really downstream of good joints and fingertip force sensing. Respect the shirt folding lol

Congratulations on the progress being made! Households around the world are waiting for robots to take over the drudgery of everyday tasks and take back personal time. We'll be watching you! :-)

First ironing, now folding. The next challenge is finding where all the missing socks go. 🧦🤖

It says “teleoperation”…? And it says “3x speed”.
