Maker @k7agar demoed a cloth-folding robot built with just a single RTX 4090, stressing the team got it working with "pure fafo" (trial and error) rather than expensive compute. The video shows the robot actually folding clothes — a notable low-budget embodied-AI build with collaborator @tirthgada.
