Is this the end of household chores?

Who wouldn't welcome a helping hand to tackle chores like laundry? So it may be exciting to learn that laundry-folding robots already exist. The best-known version is the Japanese clothes-folding machine the Laundroid. Another one has recently been invented, too, with software designed by the University of California, Berkeley and hardware by Rethink Robotics. But don't get too excited.
