The main objective of the Dressman robot is to dry and press shirts. On placing a damp shirt on the ironing figure, this dummy inflates with hot air in its interior, and thus puffs the shirt up, removing creases drying the garment (it has to be previously wet and undergone a spin-dry in a washing machine).
I wouldn’t call the Dressman a robot — it’s human-shaped so you can put a shirt on it, not so it can use your iron — but it’s pretty cool nonetheless. (Hat tip to Slashdot.)
