Houses with kids (and messy adults) could become much cleaner now that scientists from UC Berkeley are working on a robot that’ll pick up clothing strewn about around the house. Nicknamed the “Teenager's Problem,” Professor Ken Goldberg says, “The ability to efficiently pick up garments could be very useful for senior citizens, in hospitals, hotels, and in retail clothing stores.”
However, Goldberg warns that the handy-dandy cleaning machine won't be available right away since it’s still “a bit too expensive to justify this for home use” and currently lacks the ability to sort garments by color. However, researchers suggest that sorting could be just around the corner for teenage technology.
