At last, a humanoid robot masters the chore we all hate
A couple of weeks ago, we watched in awe as Figure's humanoid robot grabbed clothes from a laundry basket before deftly depositing them in a washer. It was all very impressive. In a follow-up that offers a glimpse of a future where humans can finally ignore this wretched chore, Figure has shared another video showing the same robot folding freshly washed towels before placing them in a pile. Today we unveiled the first humanoid robot that can fold laundry autonomously Same exact Helix architecture, only new data — Figure (@Figure_robot) August 12, 2025 The California-based tech company said it's the first humanoid robot capable of folding laundry 'fully autonomously,' a statement that will surely cause millions of people around the world to call out at once: 'So where can I get one?' Well, more on that later. Recommended Videos To conduct the process, Figure 02 uses the same Helix Vision Language Action (VLA) model that the company has already deployed for industrial logistics tasks, but now with a new dataset for laundry folding. To be clear, the robot performs the laundry task without teleoperation or specialized hand-coded instructions, relying instead on an end-to-end neural network. As you can see, the robot uses multi-fingered hands to competently pick towels from a pile. It also performs different folding strategies, recovers from errors such as grabbing multiple towels at once, and carries out fine manipulations — just like a human. The video demonstrates real advances in one of the areas that robotics engineers still find extremely challenging: manipulation of objects, especially soft, flexible ones. Indeed, the robot's impressive ability to handle the humble towel looks like an exciting step toward such machines being able to cope with other non-rigid items, opening them up to a plethora of other tasks in a broader range of settings. 'Folding laundry sounds mundane for a person, but this is one of the most challenging dexterous manipulation tasks for a humanoid robot,' Figure said in a post on its website. 'Towels are deformable, constantly changing shape, bending unpredictably, and prone to wrinkling or tangling. There's no fixed geometry to memorize, and no single 'correct' grasp point. Even a slight slip of a finger can cause the material to bunch or fall. Success requires more than just seeing the world accurately — it demands fine, coordinated finger control to trace edges, pinch corners, smooth surfaces, and adapt in real time.' While Figure is currently focused on deploying its humanoid robot in industrial locations, it will — tantalizingly for all of those laundry haters out there — begin testing it in home settings this year. Figure has yet to mention pricing and other purchasing details for individual customers, so for the time being at least, the laundry will continue as a regular chore for most folks. But this humanoid robot certainly offers hope …

Point Park University to house some students in Downtown Pittsburgh's Wyndham Grand hotel
Some incoming freshman at Point Park University will be staying in a hotel this fall. Point Park says it's anticipating one of its largest freshman classes in history and doesn't have enough room for all of them. A spokesperson for the university says some students will be staying at the Wyndham Grand hotel near Point State Park. "Enrollment has risen enough for the fall semester, particularly with first-year freshmen, and that's what caused us to seek a hotel partner," Point Park University spokesperson Lou Corsaro told the Post-Gazette. The school says the hotel is a five to six minute walk to class and students who stay in the hotel won't have to pay any extra fees. Most students at Point Park are expected to move onto campus between August 16 and August 23. Point Park's placing students in hotels comes as the University of Pittsburgh is also putting freshman students into off-campus hotels and apartments. 400 beds have been reserved for freshman students at off-campus apartments and at the Hampton Inn on Hamlet Street. Pitt says the facilities all meet the universities' standards for safety, amenities, and access to campus resources.
