The present disclosure relates to a clothes folding device including: a loading assembly which pushes in the clothes and seats the clothes on a loading conveyor for transportation; a folding assembly which transports the clothes forward or backward and performs the folding of the clothes; an unloading assembly which is provided below the folding assembly and loads the clothes discharged from the folding assembly. The unloading assembly comprises: an upper unloading layer where the clothes finally folded by the folding assembly is primarily dropped and seated and which comprises an unloading conveyor; a rotation drive unit which drives such that the unloading conveyor rotates; an upper front-rear drive unit which moves the upper unloading layer in a forward and backward direction; a lower unloading layer where the clothes seated on the upper unloading layer are secondarily dropped and seated; and an up and down drive unit which moves the lower unloading layer in an up or down direction.

A method for using a tag to orient a garment is disclosed. The method includes identifying the tag on an outside portion of the garment. The method further includes identifying one or more characteristics of the tag. The method further includes identifying an orientation of the garment based on at least one of: the tag being on the outside portion of the garment and one or more characteristics of the tag. In response to identifying the orientation of the garment, the method further includes making contact with the tag. While making contact with the tag, the method further includes manipulating a position of the garment as part of a task relating to wardrobe management.

A patch pocket folding apparatus (1) comprises: a template (2), moving means (3) of the template (2), a folding body (4), against which the template (2) pushes a fabric (T), folding blades (5), a folding unit (G) disposed under the folding body (4); the folding unit (G) is composed of a set of strips (6) made of an easily workable rigid material that are fixed under the folding body (4) and define an internal corresponding border having the same profile as the external border of the template (2).

A clothes folding device includes a loading assembly which pushes in the clothes and seats the clothes on a loading conveyor for transportation, a folding assembly which transports the clothes forward or backward and performs the folding of the clothes, an unloading assembly which is provided below the folding assembly and loads the clothes discharged from the folding assembly. The unloading assembly includes an upper unloading layer where the clothes finally folded by the folding assembly is primarily dropped and seated and which includes an unloading conveyor, a rotation drive unit that rotates the unloading conveyor, an upper front-rear drive unit which moves the upper unloading layer in a forward and backward direction, a lower unloading layer where the clothes seated on the upper unloading layer are secondarily dropped and seated, and an up and down drive unit which moves the lower unloading layer in an up or down direction.

The present invention relates to a clothes-folding machine comprising: a frame part; a loading part into which clothes are inserted; and a folding part for transferring and folding the inserted clothes, wherein the folding part includes: a vertical folding plate rotating within a predetermined radial range around a first rotary shaft so as to fold the clothes; a horizontal folding plate rotating within a predetermined radial range around a second rotary shaft, which is vertical to the first rotary shaft, so as to fold the clothes; and a link plate, which is linked to the vertical folding plate or the horizontal folding plate and rotates, and thus an area for folding the clothes can be expanded, and even large clothes can be folded.

The present invention relates to a clothes folding machine comprising: a frame part forming an external skeleton; a folding part which is mounted to the frame part, holds clothes, and folds the held clothes; and a holder which is disposed in front of the folding part and holds the clothes before the clothes are held by the folding part. The holder forms an upwardly convex curved surface, thus preventing wrinkles from occurring in the clothes held by the holder and preventing the occurrence of creases in the folded clothes.

A machine, comprising an enclosure, three or more robotic arms each having one end connected to a top panel of the enclosure and an opposite end connected a hand configured to grab and release one or more clothing items, two or more baskets for storing the clothing items, a folding platform above the baskets, a processor, and an artificial intelligence system. The processor is configured to control movement of each of the robotic arms, while the artificial intelligence system is configured to identify each item grabbed by at least one of the robotic arms. The folding platform folds the clothing item based on the type identified by the artificial intelligence system.

The invention relates to a planning apparatus (1) for determining an ablation probe parameter. A thermal energy determination unit determines, in a first part of a planning procedure, a first thermal energy distribution by using a thermal energy function like a Bioheat equation such that a temperature-based condition is fulfilled, which is indicative of a desired treatment outcome for a subject (18). An ablation probe parameter determination unit determines, in a second part, the ablation probe parameter by using a second thermal energy function, which relates a second thermal energy distribution to be caused by the ablation probe (22) to b) the ablation probe parameter, such that a deviation between the first thermal energy distribution and the second thermal energy distribution fulfils a predefined deviation criterion. This dissection into two parts allows for an improved adaptability of the determination of the ablation probe parameter to different types of ablation procedures.

A method for folding laundry is provided, where a robot approaches the clothes, identifying the type of clothing and key points for folding the clothing with a camera, and then uses a scoop and pusher pad assemblies to grab and manipulate the articles of clothing. The robot uses gripper arms and pinch grippers to grasp and move the clothing items, with the help of a camera that guides the folding process by guiding the manipulation devices to the key points on the clothing. The robot then moves the folded clothing items to a desired location using the scoop.

A method for using a tag to orient a garment is disclosed. The method includes identifying the tag on an outside portion of the garment. The method further includes identifying one or more characteristics of the tag. The method further includes identifying an orientation of the garment based on at least one of: the tag being on the outside portion of the garment and one or more characteristics of the tag. In response to identifying the orientation of the garment, the method further includes making contact with the tag. While making contact with the tag, the method further includes manipulating a position of the garment as part of a task relating to wardrobe management.
