Looks like we may actually have robot maids picking stuff up before too long!
Re. not expecting it for ten years at least, current progress is pretty much in line with Moravec's predictions from 35 years ago. (https://jetpress.org/volume1/moravec.htm)
I wonder if he still follows this stuff?

What fascinates me is we could probably make self-folding clothes. We also already have non wrinkle clothes where folding is minimally needed. I wager we could go a lot further if we invested a tad more into the matter.
But the first image people seem to have of super advanced multi-thousand dollar robots is still folding the laundry.
I think it's just one of the most obvious things that Rosey from the Jetsons could do but current robots can't.
