Greeley Women Create New Robotic Laundry-Folding Device

Another great invention could join the list of things created in Colorado, such as the milkshake and Crocs. Coming out of Greeley, how about a robotic laundry-folding device?

What is the Laundry-Folding Creation Out of Greeley, Colorado?

In August of 22026, there was a showcase held in Loveland, according to the Reporter-Herald; the showcase featured companies in their early stages of development.

At the showcase, Origami Motion not only won "People's Choice" but also "Most Innovative." It'd be hard to argue with both accolades; who doesn't love the idea of not having to fold laundry and then coming up with a device that eliminates the chore. If this thing really takes off, we could see an Origami Motion factory in the Greeley area someday.

How Does the Robotic Laundry Folding Device Work?

In the video they feature on their site, laundry is placed into the bottom device, and later the upper cabinet starts filling with folded laundry.

How Much Will the Robotic Laundry-Folding Cabinet Cost?

According to the Reporter-Herald, the Ori-Smart Dresser will cost about $2,500. $2,500 is not a lot of money when you think of all the time/energy you won't be wasting anymore once it's in your home.

Who Are the Women in Greeley Behind the Ori-Smart Dresser?

The Reporter-Herald reports that one of the women, Eliszabeth Van,  was a robotics engineer who'd worked with Boston Dynamics as well as NASA, and the other, Katrina Hellmann (according to her LinkedIn page) used to work for Texas Instruments. Smart Colorado women creating something ingenious.
