🤖👕 #Robotics expert Chris Paxton from Agility Robotics explains why multiple companies are developing #clothes-folding #robots, highlighting advances in imitation learning that require thousands of human demonstrations to train #AI models.

The tasks work well because clothes-folding is forgiving of imperfection, easily resettable when errors occur, and doesn't require precise force control like more complex manufacturing tasks.
