CES Was Full of Useless Robots and Machines That Don’t Work
Here&#x27;s what I want robots to do:<p>1) Wash my dishes, dry them and put them away completely automatically.<p>2) Wash and dry my clothes, fold them and put them away completely automatically.<p>These two things would save me hours of work per week. FoldiMate simply isn&#x27;t even close to being good enough, but I&#x27;d be willing to spend about that much for a robot that could do #2.<p>I can vacuum my floor by myself and greet people at the door, thank you. I have no use for drones, or bipedal robots, or some kind of other walking robot at all. Alexa and similar provide nothing to me that I&#x27;ve been able to ascertain.<p>I wouldn&#x27;t mind some kind of thing that can hold stuff and follow me around (and up and down stairs) on occasion, but that suitcase isn&#x27;t going to do it.<p>Anybody who can crack either #1 or #2 is going to break the robotics industry wide open.
