Humanoid robot resumes laundry after being interrupted mid-task in impressive agent demo

A humanoid robot laundry demo is drawing attention: the agent remembers where it left off, switches between machines, and reasons out recovery steps when things go wrong. Testers pulled its hand off the washer and messed with settings mid-task, yet it returned and set the correct cycle anyway. Commenters note such details make or break real deployments, and predict humanoids will get the same cute treatment as agents like dots and muse.
