A Towel-folding Robot - Innovation Nation

The video discusses the PR2 robot, which can fold towels, a task simple for humans but challenging for robots. The UC Berkeley team, supported by the National Science Foundation, developed a robust method to identify cloth corners using special software and dual cameras. Although PR2 currently takes 20 minutes per towel, future algorithm improvements aim to double its speed and expand its capabilities to other chores like cooking.
