A cute little video of a robot folding towels it has never seen before! The project was led by UC Berkeley Ph.D. student Jeremy Maitin-Shepard working with Professor Pieter Abbeel. The video is shown at 50X speed. More details can be found in the paper at http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~pabbeel/papers/Maitin-ShepardCusumano-TownerLeiAbbeel_ICRA2010.pdf +10
