Retail Employees Will Someday Be Replaced By This T-Shirt Folding Bot


Great news for anyone who’s ever felt ignored by snooty retail clothing store employees that seem more interested in what’s happening in their headsets than their customers. To celebrate its one year anniversary, ROS Industrial put together this highlight reel of its robots in action, including a bit showing this arm deftly folding a shirt.

The demo is meant to show off the robot’s capabilities, but like with most industries it also demonstrates that humans can be easily replaced. In fact, all it needs is a vintage hat and a few more tattoos and the arm should easily breeze through the interview process. [ROS Industrial via IEEE Spectrum]
