For a long time, domestic robots were just a promise, ideas, prototypes, controlled demonstrations, but now a company is trying to take the next step, bringing a laboratory robot inside homes. Startup Sunday Robotics introduced the Mimo, a household robot designed to perform everyday tasks such as setting the table, loading the dishwasher and even folding clothes.
This choice reveals something important, perhaps the future of domestic robotics is not in perfectly copying the human body without finding more efficient solutions for the real environment and that environment is much more complex than it seems, because it is one thing for a robot to work in a laboratory, it is quite another to deal with the unpredictable disorder of a real house, out of place objects, different surfaces and, above all, things without a defined shape such as clothes.
