Abstract

A method for folding laundry is provided, where a robot approaches the clothes, identifying the type of clothing and key points for folding the clothing with a camera, and then uses a scoop and pusher pad assemblies to grab and manipulate the articles of clothing. The robot uses gripper arms and pinch grippers to grasp and move the clothing items, with the help of a camera that guides the folding process by guiding the manipulation devices to the key points on the clothing. The robot then moves the folded clothing items to a desired location using the scoop.
