Innovation I have been waiting for - and would love to build if set free from endless employment is an automatic laundry solution: takes clothes from dirty bin, places in washer, then dryer (or combo) and then folds or hangs and puts away. The reality is that the home laundry systems are not well built for automation which is where a lot of the challenges are introduced. It might need to be something integrated into the closet or drawer system. I like to think of it as encapsoluted. I would put my dresser and hamper so that I have access and behind it is the robot which would grab the dirty clothes and refill the clean drawers. The other one is pretty analogous - dishes are a giant waste of time. One awesome hack is having two dishwashers and then never using your cabinets, but its pretty hacky. The clean way is to integrate the output of the dishwasher with the cabinet. I would pay serious money for this simply because of how much of my life is wasted dealing with clothes and dishes. The collective man hours world wide of these tasks is actually probably pretty insane.
