Panasonic presents a washing machine that folds your clothes and a fridge that comes when called



A washing machine that folds away clean clothes, a voice-responsive mobile fridge and a smart sake cooler that recommends meal pairings for your chosen bottle are among the concepts showcased by Panasonic at consumer electronics fair IFA in Berlin.

In a section of its stand called Better Living Tomorrow, the Japanese technology company is demonstrating a number of prototype concepts that might one day become common household devices – but more likely won’t.

The imagined products are based around new developments in the internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, allowing them to connect to the internet and perform complicated tasks autonomously.

These technologies “support a variety of aspects of our lives, making the time spent with family and friends more delightful”, according to Panasonic.

The largest of the inventions on display is the Sustainable Maintainer, a washing machine that launders items individually and ends by delicately folding them onto a shelf.
