Laundroid is tall, dark and functional (pictures)

TOKYO -- At the 2015 CEATEC show in Japan, a company called Seven Dreamers had an interesting robot to show off.

It was hidden behind an ominous black door.

Its name is Laundroid, and it's a laundry folding robot.

Unfolded laundry goes into the slot and then, about 5 minutes later...

...out comes a perfectly folded shirt!

Yes, with no human intervention, the laundry is done.

The next step toward robot domination?

Laundroid is slated to go on sale sometime in 2016.
