How do you guys not understand capital investment? This failure to understand basic investment for increased productivity is hurting my brain. All of you probably use washer and dryers, but somehow don’t understand the importance of automation for domestic tasks, as well as their implementation in service industries. This could eliminate a hotel’s labor costs for thousands of hours per year of folding.

People are criticizing this like it isn’t an amazing feat for robots to be able to pull out clothes and actually fold them. Do they realize that funding will go into capital investments to make it a better folder? Do they understand how much of a value this type of machine can unlock when the development team has resources to perfect it?
