Autonomous laundry folding devices, systems, and methods of use

A device for autonomously folding a plurality of laundry article types to a plurality of combinable target rectangle sizes, comprising:

• a rotatable platform configured to receive a laundry article of the plurality of laundry articles on a surface thereof;
• at least one elongation configured to fold the laundry article on the rotatable platform at one or more fold lines to one of the plurality of combinable target rectangle sizes, each of the plurality of combinable target rectangle sizes being configured to fit alone or in side by side stacking positions within a container;
• at least one sensor configured to detect the laundry article on the rotatable platform, the at least one sensor comprising one or more cameras calibrated at a fixed position and orientation relative to the surface of the rotatable platform;
• and
• at least one controller in operable communication with the at least one elongation, a drive of the rotatable platform, and the at least one sensor, the at least one controller being configured to, iteratively:
• receive a signal from the at least one sensor indicative of an area occupied by the laundry article on the surface of the rotatable platform,
• determine whether dimensions of the laundry article are within bounds of one of the plurality of combinable target rectangle sizes, and
• instruct, based on a determination that the dimensions are not within bounds of one of the plurality of combinable target rectangle sizes, at least one of the drive of the rotatable platform to rotate the rotatable platform and the at least one elongation to fold the laundry article on the surface of the rotatable platform at one of the one or more fold lines.
