Rather than teaching your robot to fold inside-out clothes, you should teach it to attack people who put their clothes in the hamper inside out.


I think my shirts just automatically get inside-outted in my washer/dryer? I certainly don’t put them in that way, and it seems like I spend a lot of righting them when putting away laundry.


Try putting some in inside-out and seeing if they get turned outside-out.

I’m also curious which device does it!

We should work this out, and also we will need a lot of robots to go after the manufacturer.


Clothe instruction care sometimes requires washing clothes inside out.


Why? Clothes last longer if the outer surface sees less mechanical friction in the washer. They get just as clean.


I agree, but in some cases it makes sense to protect the print. Although I habe no idea if it actually helps.


If it's vinyl applied with heat (numbers on a jersey as an example), they recommend turning inside out. That way, if it gets too hot in the dryer, it only sticks to itself instead of to other garments. Losing the one garment is better than multiple.


I've seen suggestions that having your clothes inside out in the wash helps them get cleaner. And if it keeps the AIs under control, you know, benefits.
