Is that a billion dollar market, is it within reach, and does it require a humanoid? And if so, will any 1 company have a lock on it?

Yes I would easily pay 20k for a robot to fold and put away laundry.

    Where I live, wash/dry/fold service costs ~$3/lb including pickup & delivery, so depending on how many clothes you wear in a week you'd be looking at 5-10 years before that robot even starts to pay for itself - without even accounting for the cost of the laundry machines it'll need to use or the water and power to run them. Laundry machines are expected to last 10-15 years; will the robot last so long?
