On Monday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared a video of a robot named Optimus folding a t-shirt.
In the clip, you can see the robot fold a shirt with human-like precision, even down to the finger movements.

In 30 seconds, Optimus folded a shirt from start to finish. My guess is that this is a work in progress and before long, the robot will be able to fold clothes in half that time.
It’s impressive, I will admit. Who wouldn’t love to have an extra hand around the house? Especially with laundry! However, it’s also a scary thought. What else will these robots be able to do….
Would you want a robot like this in your home?
A robot is far more than needed to fold laundry much better than ME.
If that shirt hadn’t been freshly pressed and all straighten out it, couldn’t have done it… Sorrry
