Dreams of dishing laundry duty to an in-house robot just got a little less hopeful after the company behind the automated assistant, Laundroid, filed for bankruptcy - effectively putting its bot to bed.
According to Engadget, the company Seven Dreamers, which has worked to bring Laundroid to market since 2014, still owes 200 creditors about $20 million after its bankruptcy filing in Japan on April 23.
In its Consumer Electronic Show (CES) debut in 2017, Seven Dreamers offered up what they purported would be an all-in-one laundry-folding and sorting machine that was able to take laundry, fold it, and in some cases organize it by color or owner and then deliver the final product to its wielder.
