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.

If you have a spare $7,999 (plus a $250 deposit), hate folding laundry, and happen to live in the Bay Area, one-and-a-half-year-old startup Weave has the robot for you: Isaac 0.
It takes Isaac 0 around 30-90 minutes to fold a load of laundry, Weave says.
That's all it does — it's stationary and needs a regular wall outlet — and it can't tackle large blankets, bed sheets, or inside-out garments.
It's not fully autonomous either, with teleoperators on-hand to assist with trickier folds, though Weave says performance will improve over time.
Snippet from the RSS feed
Weave’s Isaac 0 can’t fold large blankets, sheets, or inside-out clothes, and still needs help from human teleoperators.
