Autonomous laundry washing and drying devices, systems, and methods of use

A method of autonomously washing and drying at least one deformable article with a combination washer and dryer, comprising:

• receiving, at a controller in communication with the combination washer and dryer, a request to begin a washing and drying cycle;
• instructing, in response to the request, a pivot motor to rotate the combination washer and dryer upward such that an opening of the combination washer and dryer faces upward, the pivoted opening being configured to receive the at least one deformable article therein;
• determining, based on an output signal of a position sensor in communication with the pivot motor, that the opening faces upward;
• instructing an autonomous loader disposed above the combination washer and dryer and in operable communication with the controller to release the at least one deformable article to the combination washer and dryer;
• instructing the pivot motor to pivot the combination washer and dryer to a washing and drying angle in a range of between about 0 degrees to 20 degrees from horizontal;
• and
• instructing, in response to the output signal indicating the combination washer and dryer being pivoted to the washing and drying angle, an autonomous door loader disposed adjacent to and detached from the combination washer and dryer to seat a removable door in the opening.
