How Hard Is It for Robots to Do Housework - Moravec's Paradox

AI is advancing fast, but why can’t robots handle simple chores like folding laundry or washing dishes? This challenge is explained by Moravec’s Paradox, which states that tasks we find simple, like moving and sensing, are actually the hardest for robots to master. However, major breakthroughs are happening! In 2024, a San Francisco company launched π0, a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that lets robots handle real-world tasks. In an incredible demo, their robot opened a washing machine, grabbed clothes, and folded them neatly. Could this be the start of a future where robots handle all our chores? Let us know your thoughts!
