Robots reliably do my laundry by?

Question

If some robots are commercially available to regular people and can reliably do my laundry from start to finish by then resolves YES Update 2026-05-18 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The robot must be able to perform the full laundry workflow autonomously: Locate and bring dirty clothes to the washing machine Start the wash cycle Move clothes to the dryer Fold the clothes Put clothes away in the closet All steps must be done reliably without user intervention. Update 2026-05-20 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Regarding the hamper requirement: A robot that requires a specific type of hamper (e.g. cylindrical, cubic) that can be purchased is acceptable A robot that requires purchasing a proprietary special hamper from the robot company is not acceptable Update 2026-05-20 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Regarding acceptable requirements for the robot: A specific type of hamper (e.g. cylindrical, cubic) or detergent that can be purchased is acceptable Modifications to the home (washer, closet, folding surface, floor, etc.) are not acceptable due to apartment restrictions Update 2026-05-20 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Home modifications are not acceptable for resolution. The robot must handle the chores as-is; solutions that hard-code the environment (e.g. require proprietary modifications to the washer, dryer, closet, or floor) do not count. Update 2026-05-20 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Regarding washing machine/dryer errors: If an error is caused by robot action, it counts as human intervention if a human must resolve it If an error is not caused by robot action, resolving it does not count as human intervention The creator has a front load washing machine. Update 2026-05-21 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator will always try their best to obtain and test a qualifying robot. If a robot is so limited in availability that the creator cannot reasonably access one, it would not be considered commercially available and would not qualify for YES resolution.
