I hope these are expensive, otherwise I'd be completely obsolete.

spinal	WOW! Now you can get a robot to do something in an hour what you can do yourself in two minutes! Seriously though... cool.

Stealth	It's pretty impressive how it can look at an object and determine how to grasp it properly.

Scherererer	Yeah, I think 25 minutes per towel is a bit much...

Stealth	It's preforming a pretty complex task. Yes, simple by human standards but very complicated in computer terms. Trying to figure out how to grasp it is nearly impossible without lots of time spent studying how it's wrinkled up.

JL235	Today was a huge step forward in towel folding technology. I am no doubt this will revolutionize the future of mankind.
