Erm...

I'll stick to a £30 Iron thanks. Cheaper and takes up way less room.

To have an automated iron you need a Titan-Z worth $3000 and a robot worth $20,000 or more

lol actually quite a neat bit of manipulation. Just waiting for the nVidia hair drier to come out now... oh wait..

[jigger]

Maybe Nvidia will use this to iron out the asynchronous compute problems they have.

What's the driver support like for this one? ;-p

I hear they need a little ironing out... I'll get my coat.

There's more creases at the end of the video than the start. I thought the AI would be powerful enough to delegate this task like everyone else does.

Benchmarks???

Following hot on the heels of "Watching paint dry .. for Windows"?
I'll tell you - I lost my right arm twenty years ago - I can't use a prosthetic - and I still wouldn't choose to use a robot ironer!

That was not what I was expecting to see, guess we're going to be ironing our clothes for the next 50 years at least *sigh* oh the shame..

I had a weird image of this machine going nuts oneday and attacking a bunch of old people and ironing them to death whilst trying to get rid of their wrinkles.
