Oh sweet baby jesus no it is not. The robot would load the dishes into the the dishwashing machine, then put the clean dishes away when the dishwashing cycle is complete.
Just get two dish washers. Take the clean dishes out of one to use, then put them in the other when done. When full wash, then repeat.
that definetely sounds doable, but no fuck you here's a dancing robot, here's a fighting robot, and here's a stripper robot.
Right? Dancing humans and fighting humans and stripping humans are already awesome.
I want a sink full of dirty dishes to turn in to a cabinet full of clean dishes, and a laundry basket full of dirty clothes to turn into a drawer full of clean, folded clothes.
Why is humanity even bothering anymore? Nobody asked for robots that write novels and paints. Just shut it all down. Fuck this.
The only even remotely useful part of ai anything is the "I can't be bothered to write this" level of code problem.
It's not so doable as it turns out. The whole dancing routine can be preprogrammed once you figure out balancing and gross motor skills, which they did. But the dishes is fine motor skill, spatial awareness, object manipulation. It would be a lot easier if each plate, utensils and cooking ware would have a grip for robot grippers and a QR code, with a fixed cubby in the dish washer and cabinet. Lacking that, a lot more work needs to be done in better robot hands, perception, reasoning and manipulation.
Just load your dishes wrong and then you can put them away in garbage bags.
I tried that in my early 20s. Luckily I still had a Frisbee left for cereal.
