Robotic laundry separating and repositioning devices, systems, and methods of use

1) A system for separating and spreading apart an amassed plurality of deformable articles, comprising:

• an elongated platform configured to receive thereon adjacent an inlet end the amassed plurality of deformable articles;
• a plurality of arms disposed in series along the elongated platform, each one of the plurality of arms comprising an actuatable terminal gripper configured to grasp in sequence at least one of the amassed plurality of deformable articles initially disposed adjacent the inlet end and at least one arm drive motor configured to move the actuatable terminal gripper toward an outlet end of the elongated platform opposite the inlet end;
• a surface adjacent the outlet end of the elongated platform and disposed at a bottom of a repositioning work volume, wherein a last arm in the series of the plurality of arms delivers a separated deformable article of the grasped at least one deformable article into the repositioning work volume adjacent the elongated platform;
• and
• two or more repositioning arms disposed about a perimeter of the repositioning work volume at spaced apart, individually anchored positions, the last arm and the two or more repositioning arms being configured to spread apart and lower on the surface the separated, spread apart deformable article for folding.
