Robot that irons clothes developed

With artificial intelligence advancing at break-neck speed, it is only a matter of time before robots start taking over jobs. But it seems that androids may well take our household chores too, as scientists have developed a robot that can neatly iron clothes. The TEO robot, which uses a camera in its head to create a 3D model of the garment and board, weighs 80 kilograms (175 lbs) and stands 1.8 metres tall (6 ft). In March, a robot that can lay bricks six times faster than a builder started work on a building site in the US. The Semi-Automated Mason, nicknamed Sam, can lay 3,000 bricks a day, while a builder's average is 500.
