Robotics engineer here.<p>It turns out it&#x27;s ridiculously difficult to make machines that will reliably deal with small, flexible, sometimes-overlapping, sometimes-folded, identically coloured bits of fabric.<p>You can automate parts of the garment-making process - embroidery, cutting things from rolls, stuff like that - but sewing the bits together automatically is really difficult for a machine, compared to a human.<p>If you&#x27;ve got clever solutions for this feel free to advance the technology - I&#x27;d really like a robot that can do my laundry :)
