There are at least two companies out there that can fold some laundry in a controlled environment already. At this point it's just a matter of categorizing fabrics and shapes and expanding that knowledge. Two years at the outside until it can fold 80% of your laundry.
Forgive me if I am somewhat sceptical.
folding a flat, well presented tshirt, that is a known quantity, and never inside out, is fairly "easy"
in an unknown environment, with unknown clothes, that's still active area of research. Its still not that practical to navigate in a house yet.
