Science fiction becomes reality. A team of researchers from the University of Bologna has developed a robot capable of doing laundry on its own. Unfortunately, this innovation will not be available to the general public, as it is only intended for appliance manufacturers for now.
For this project, researchers from the University of Bologna have teamed up with the Swedish company Electrolux, which specializes in the manufacture of household appliances. The robotic system can detect dirty clothes, pick them up, insert them into the washing machine, interpret the machine’s display, choose the right washing cycle and retrieve the clean clothes.
Gianluca Palli, from the University of Bologna, explains that their invention could be of great use to manufacturers in the household appliance sector. ” Deploying robotic systems could potentially save them time and money, by running testing and validation 24/7 with minimal to no human intervention. “, did he declare.
A prototype would already be used by Electrolux in one of its factories based in Italy. In the future, the researchers plan to develop similar robotic systems for other household appliances such as dishwashers.
