Summary
Weave's Isaac 0 is a $7,999 laundry-folding robot currently available in the Bay Area that takes 30-90 minutes to fold a load of laundry. The robot has limitations: it cannot handle large blankets, bed sheets, or inside-out garments, and requires human teleoperators to assist with trickier folds. While not fully autonomous, Weave claims performance will improve over time as the company joins other startups working on laundry automation technology.
