System for everting a garment

A system for robot-assisted eversion of a garment consisting of superimposed first and second fabric layers, wherein the system comprises:

• a handling robot with an effector comprising a handling mechanism configured to space the first fabric layer from the second fabric layer to provide an inner volume between the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer accessible through an opening between the fabric layers;
• and
• an eversion device,
• wherein the eversion device is configured such that a pass-through portion of the garment relative to an outer portion of the garment can be passed through the inner volume and through the opening such that an eversion of the garment can be carried out.

A method for robot-assisted eversion of a garment consisting of superimposed first and second fabric layers, wherein the method comprises:

• spacing the first fabric layer from the second fabric layer by means of a handling mechanism of an effector at a handling robot to provide an inner volume between the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer accessible through an opening between the fabric layers;
• and
• everting the garment by means of an eversion device,
• wherein a pass-through portion of the garment relative to an outer portion of the garment is passed through the inner volume and through the opening by means of the eversion device such that an eversion of the garment is carried out.
