folding laundry is not useful?

Definitely not. I have laundry that I hang. Everything else goes unfolded into sorted bins. Of course it drives my wife crazy, and if she takes my laundry out of the dryer, she folds it. What drives her more crazy is that I proceed to just dump it in the bins.

It would be. But it also feels like the "Can it run Crysis?" of robotics.

By the time we get robots capable of folding laundry, we'd already have solved many, many other use-cases.

If it would work, it would be mildly useful. Actually, if it would work, that would be more exciting by itself than it would be useful. But it doesn’t, really.

Better to put the items on hangers.

It is about as useful as robot that chews your food for you
