Sockification

Footage of some preliminary results obtained at UC Berkeley which were compiled for Willow Garage's One-Minute PR2 Quick Start Video Contest. The PR2 is presented with two socks. It then classifies each sock as either "inside" or "outside" and flips accordingly. Once both socks are in the proper orientation, it pairs them. Team: Ping Chuan (Ted) Wang, Stephen Miller, Mario Fritz, Trevor Darrell, Pieter Abbeel.

Two socks just sitting there.. 15 minutes later one sock is inside the other. Yeah this was totally NOT a waste of EVERYONE'S time and resources.

Aside from the fact that they built a hand job robot, who folds socks that way?

with your cock instead of the pole, this gives more interesting perspectives (when performed 30x faster ...)
