Possible? Apparently. Labor saving? No. But let's all show the wives to legitimize our relentless robotics pursuits. "I do it all for you, honey."

    Although fabric pattern cutting has been automated for years, anything else dealing with cloth (e.g. sewing, ironing, etc.) is a nearly insurmountable challenge for automation. The actual ironing is the easy part. Positioning and moving the cloth is another matter altogether.

    So sewing sweatshops are still a thing and probably will be for some time to come.
