Over Coffee® | Stories and Resources from the Intersection of Art and Science | Exploring How to Make STEAM Work For You

As Over Coffee® counts down to CES® 2019, we're posting some of our most popular podcasts recorded during the 2018 show.  Say it with me: "WHOA!" This Laundroid robot is designed to take over a job you're currently doing.  But you almost certainly won't object. That's because the Laundroid, which Tokyo-based Seven Dreamers Laboratories created, is the world's first fully automated laundry-folding robot. Laundroid was more than twelve years in the making, says Seven Dreamers President and CEO Dr. Shin Sakane.  (You'll recall that we first saw a prototype during CES ® 2016.) During CES® 2018, in Las Vegas, Shin shared the story of the "Laundroid" robot, and offered a preview of its official debut.   At the time we spoke, Seven Dreamers was planning to launch it in Tokyo and San Francisco.  A pilot program was also under consideration. We have an email in to Shin, with a request for an update!   We'll let you know as soon as we know--and hope to update you further from CES® 2019. UPDATED: Seven Dreamers will announce the update of Laundroid by March, 2019, which is the end of the fiscal year in Japan, according to an email from their PR manager.  Unfortunately, since CES® 2019 happens just before the end of their fiscal year, they will not be in Las Vegas this time. Meanwhile, this has to be one of the coolest robots we've seen! On this edition of Over Coffee®, you’ll hear: How Shin first came up with the concept for his laundry-folding robot; What was involved, in making his vision a reality; One of the most challenging hurdles, in translating the task of folding clothes into AI; How the Laundroid works, to sort and fold clothes; Shin’s “wow” moment in the creation process; How to contact Seven Dreamers Laboratories for information on their “pilot program”, in the U.S. And, follow the Laundroid on their Facebook page! CES 2019 happens Tuesday, January 8th, through Friday, January 11th, 2019, in Las Vegas.

Folding laundry is a lot of fun--not.  And that's where the Laundroid, created by Tokyo-based Seven Dreamers Laboratories, Inc.,  comes in. Laundroid is the world's first laundry-folding robot. Seven Dreamers president and CEO Dr. Shin Sakane was onsite at CES® 2018, to demonstrate how it worked. And Shin says, not only is the Laundroid premiering in Tokyo and San Francisco--it's on its way to becoming an affordable reality for the average person.  (Think "available on an everyday basis around 2019"!) Shin talked about the story behind the robot, what was involved in creating it and what we can expect in the future. Seeing the Laundroid ready for manufacture and marketing was an especially exciting part of CES® 2018. Two years earlier, at CES® 2016, we had met Seven Dreamers spokesperson Guy Hayazaki.  Introducing us to the Laundroid, Guy had projected that it would be on the market within the next few years. Fast-forward to 2018--with the Laundroid is scheduled to make its U.S. debut in San Francisco on January 25th of this year! On this edition of Over Coffee®, you'll hear: How Shin first came up with the concept for his laundry-folding robot; What was involved, in making his vision a reality; One of the most challenging hurdles, in translating the task of folding clothes into AI; How the Laundroid works, to sort and fold clothes; Shin's "wow" moment in the creation process; Where you can see the Laundroid in action; When you can expect to see it available for purchase; How to contact Seven Dreamers Laboratories for information on their "pilot program", in the U.S. Where you can see the Laundroid in the U.S. (it's just about to premiere)! And, follow the Laundroid on their Facebook page!

Japan’s Laundry Folding Robot Is Taking Over Your Closet – Seven Dreamers

Disrupting Japan: Startups and Innovation in Japan

It’s often surprising to discover which problems are hard for AI. We hear stories about artificial intelligence being better than the most skilled humans at go, chess, Jeopardy, and better than many at driving a car, and we assume that computers will be as smart as we are very soon. Then we discover how hard it is for AI to fold the laundry. Shin Sakane and his team at Seven Dreamers have been working on this particular problem for 12 years, and they are now rolling out the first commercially available laundry-folding robot. They will be first to the global market and have secured a production partnership with Panasonic. Shin and I talk a lot about AI and innovation in Japan, and also cover his rather unusual corse to innovation here. Seven Dreamers is not your typical venture-backed startup, and they might just provide a blueprint for innovation that many existing Japanese firms can follow. It’s a great interview, and I think you’ll enjoy it. Show Notes for Startups Why AI can drive a car but not fold socks Why starting a company in Japan is different today Shin’s formula  for developing innovative products How to work with large Japanese companies Why the future of laundry is more disrupting than you imagine Why big data wants to hack your washing machine The need to go global quickly Can Japan once again lead the world in AI Links from the Founder Everything you ever wanted to know about Laundroid Friend Shin  on Facebook Seven Dreamers Homepage Find out more about Laundroid on Facebook or Twitter Nastent website Find out more about Nastent on Facebook or Twitter The carbon-fiber golf shafts on the Web and on Facebook [shareaholic app="share_buttons" id="7994466"] Leave a comment Transcript from Japan   Disrupting Japan, episode 81. Welcome to Disrupting Japan, straight talk from Japan’s most successful entrepreneurs. I'm Tim Romero and thanks for joining me. You know, the term artificial intelligence is thrown around far too loosely these days. Every start-up using decision trees, Bayesian algorithms, or the simplest machine learning techniques, label themselves as world leaders in AI. Now there’s no question that projects like Google’s driverless cars and IBM’s Watson have pushed the limits of what’s possible, and have introduced astounding innovations in AI over the past few years. But sometimes it’s surprising to take a look at the kinds of problems that are extremely difficult for AI. It turns out that folding laundry is one of those problems. Today we sit down with Shin Sakane, CEO of Seven Dreamers and inventor of the Laundroid. The first commercially available fully automatic laundry folding robot. We talk a lot about AI in general. And the importance and the risk of attacking the really hard problems. And what he and his firm had to go through to make Laundroid a reality. It’s also worth noting that Seven Dreamers is not your typical venture back start-up. And Shin and I talk a lot about the role that mid-size companies have to play in kick-starting the Japanese economy and returning Japan to the global leader in innovation she was in the 60s and 70s. But you know, Shin tells that story better than I can. So let’s hear from our sponsor and get right to the interview. [pro_ad_display_adzone id="1404"  info_text="Sponsored by"  font_color="grey" ] [Interview] Tim: So I’m sitting here with Shin Sakane of Seven Dreamers, and we’ve been bumping into each other for a long time now. Shin: Right. Tim: So thanks for finally making time and sitting down with me. Shin: Thank you very much for coming. Tim: We’re here to talk a lot about the Laundroid. Now it’s a robot that folds clothes, which I guess is the simple way of explaining it, but why don’t you tell us more about what it is. Shin: Okay. We’ve been working on this project for the last 12 years almost. Tim: Wow. Shin: Yeah.
