After running, dancing, and performing increasingly impressive demonstrations, Chinese humanoid robots are beginning to tackle a seemingly much simpler challenge: taking care of a home. Robotics companies in China are placing their machines in real domestic environments to learn tasks such as picking up objects, organizing clothes, cleaning surfaces, and even arranging flowers.
Inside a home, practically everything is subject to change: a chair might be moved, a garment could be folded or crumpled, and various objects might appear on a table. Furthermore, every household has a completely different layout. Even seemingly simple tasks—such as folding a piece of clothing—require the robot to identify a deformable object, determine how to grasp it, and adjust its movements while manipulating the fabric.
