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.
