According to Andrew Kang, co-founder and CEO of Robostrategy, a Taku robot is used at Din Tai Fung in New York to fold napkins. At this restaurant, he also says, employees can spend entire shifts on this one task.

Kang argues that automating this folding frees employees for more skilled work.

Andrew Kang cites napkin folding, laundry folding and data centre operations among the specialised tasks that robots already carry out. He acknowledges, however, that deployments have not yet reached millions of units.

He also gave the example of welding: according to him, the company Path Robotics works with Hyundai Heavy Industries and recently signed a contract worth 600 million dollars.
