This $7,999 robot will fold (some of) your laundry

If you have a spare $7,999 (plus a $250 deposit), hate folding laundry, and happen to live in the Bay Area, one-and-a-half-year-old startup Weave has the robot for you: Isaac 0.

It takes Isaac 0 around 30-90 minutes to fold a load of laundry, Weave says. That’s all it does – it’s stationary and needs a regular wall outlet – and it can’t tackle large blankets, bed sheets, or inside-out garments. It’s not fully autonomous either, with teleoperators on-hand to assist with trickier folds, though Weave says performance will improve over time.
