Nothing captures the public imagination quite like an outrageous contraption that promises to do your most annoying chores for you. Case in point, this week, a video of a laundry-folding robot called "Lume" went viral on X. It's not a humanoid machine, but a pair of robotic arms that double as two bedside floor lamps — "the first robot designed to blend into your home," a caption reads.

Ordering wine can feel like a performance if you're not a seasoned sipper.
