iBasket - the future solution to washing machine?

iBasket: the Wi-Fi-connected clothes hamper and washing machine, by Guopeng Liang, Tongji University, China.

If you have ever wondered, how much time wasted in transporting your dirty laundry basket to your washing machine and then have to wait for the machine to do its job?

The solution would be iBasket - a see-through laundry basket cum washing machine. It stores dirty clothes and automatically wash them when it is filled up. It is also has wireless that can send message to your computer advising that the laundry is done.


Guopeng Liang commented, "As a member of the Internet generation myself, the inspiration for this came from everyday life. We are busy working for our dreams and don’t have a lot of time to take care of clothes, nor do we like to. But today, people store their clothes in a laundry hamper until it fills up, then carry the basket to the laundry room, wash them, come back, take them out, throw them back into the hamper, carry them to a clothesline and then hang them out. I believe that iBasket offers a much more convenient alternative."
