Footage of some preliminary results obtained at UC Berkeley which were compiled for Willow Garage's One-Minute PR2 Quick Start Video Contest. The PR2 is presented with two socks. It then classifies each sock as either "inside" or "outside" and flips accordingly. Once both socks are in the proper orientation, it pairs them. Team: Ping Chuan (Ted) Wang, Stephen Miller, Mario Fritz, Trevor Darrell, Pieter Abbeel.

The Berkeley PR2 autonomously pairs socks. This includes: identifying inside-out socks, folding, matching, and bunching them together. This work was done by Ping Chuan Wang, Stephen Miller, Mario Fritz, Trevor Darrell, and Pieter Abbeel, at the University of California, Berkeley. Video shown at 15x speed.

Footage of some preliminary results obtained at UC Berkeley which were compiled for Willow Garage's One-Minute PR2 Quick Start Video Contest. The PR2 picks up a towel from an unknown configuration and proceeds to fold it. When it is unsure which corner would be best to grasp, it polls Twitter for advice. In return, once it has finished the procedure, it posts a photo of the folded towel.

Need a little extra help getting the laundry done? Robotics engineers at University of California at Berkeley have developed a robot that can fold towels and socks. SmartPlanet talks to Berkeley Professor Pieter Abbeel and his student Stephen Miller about the technology behind their laundry-folding robot.

A team of UC-Berkeley researchers has programmed a robot to do something brand new -- fold towels! They've overcome a major challenge in robotics, which is programming robots to manipulate flexible objects that change shape. Professor Pieter Abbeel and his team developed novel computer vision and manipulation algorithms that enable their robot, PR2, to reliably find the corners of the towels so it can fold them. See how they did it in this episode of Innovation Nation with Miles O'Brien.

Pieter Abbeel has programmed robots to learn how to perform tasks without detailed instructions. One robot can fold laundry, while others can fly model helicopters or tie sutures.

UC Berkeley PR2 Robot Folds Laundry In 2010, the Berkeley PR2 (unofficially named Brett, for "Berkeley Robot for the Elimination of Tedious Tasks") showed us that it could pick a towel out of a pile of clean laundry one by one and neatly fold and stack them, which was an impressive demo. Somewhat less impressive was the fact that the robot would take between 20 and 25 minutes to neatly fold one single towel, which, let's face it, isn't entirely practical. That time has now been cut down to under six minutes, with the potential for as little as two minutes per towel if they really crank the robot up. The key to robots is in advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI). A limiting factor in developing a useful and practical robot is that current robots can only do what their programming tells them. You can program a robot to fold a shirt, but if you throw in a shirt with buttons on the opposite side, the robot may not be able to fold the shirt. If you program a robot to bake a cake, there is little chance the robot can make lasagna without specific programming. The PR2 doesn't rely on such discreet programming. Rather, it reduces the dependence on a complex vision system and instead relying on gravity and the properties of cloth. The PR2 now just picks up a towel wherever is convenient and then drags it across a folding table, knowing that as it does, the piece of the towel furthest away from the gripping point must necessarily be a corner. What do you all think? Is this a big <b>...</b>
