The Laundry Robot

Before washing machines, people had to walk miles and miles with their dirty clothes until they can find a river because there was no tap water. Washing clothing was labor consuming; people spent half of their time washing clothes. They couldn't really do other things. People were annoyed.

Later on, someone invented the washing machine and the dryer for clothing. The washing machine was easy to use: you just need to put all of the dirty clothes into the washing machine. The dryer? Not all clothes can go into the dryer because of their material. It's so annoying that you need to sort out the ones that can and can't go into the dryer. With annoyance putting clothes that can and can't go into the laundry, it is time consuming. What do you think?

Because of this, I've decided to make a robot called, "The Laundry Robot." The Laundry Robot sorts all of the clothes that can and can't go into the dryer. If the clothing can go into the laundry, then the laundry robot puts it into the dryer. If the clothing can't go in the dryer, you stop the robot, and put the clothing where you want it to be. The robot has "eyes," so the robot will put the clothing on the clothes hanger with its hook.

To make things even better, the robot can dump all of the clothes in the laundry. That, however, is only if you stick the laundry basket to the robot's back, and the robot knows that you put it on its back because the robot can hear. When the dryer is finished, put the basket on the robot's back, get your clothes, and put the clothes on the robot's back, where the laundry basket is. 

The only problem is: how does the robot put your dried clothes to the right space? I am not exactly sure how to solve that problem. The robot might know because it has "eyes," and when you open your drawer, the robot knows where the clothes go. It can only work if you put your clothes in a organized way because it might misplace your clothes. The laundry robot also has an indoor GPS; it will turn on when you turn the robot on. It will know where you put your clothes. When it sees the clothing, the robot will do the rest. Do you have any other ideas?
