I benefit from tidy people, they decorate things, keep their vehicles clean, and generally keep the place spruced up.

Making this much easier: 1) tidy everything up once. 2) have a mini quadcopter with a 3d laser scanner scan the dwelling, then map all the items. 3) have other mini quadcopters pick and place everything back to their original places while the people are away if anything strays out of place.

This would be like having a tidy housemate, yet without interpersonal stress!

AutoTidy [pocmloc, Nov 17 2016]

This could be extensively improved with cleaning attachments. At the lawn/driveway area the quadcopter could have an acoustic beam that vibrates the stray particles at the edge of the driveway, wiggling them towards a neat line. I am personally opposed to "beauty bark" yet beauty bark or similar could be jiggled back into neat tidy lines.

Products would be introduced so that all the exterior decorative perimeters could be wiggled back into place causing less "margin dissolve" at the outside of houses.

I think AutoTidy would be a much better name for this don't you think? [link]

It won't be able to see into drawers, or identify the "this one goes by the phone" pen or pick up any of the many heavy things that also constitute clutter. But overall these are quibbles that could be ironed out. I like it.

Seem to remember that everything in the old Imperial Palace in Beijing had a dot pattern on it, which indicated which room it should be in, where in the room, which shelf it should be on...

Yes, but you know what recent studies are showing about memory ...

So, kind of a big picture Roomba crossed with Skynet ? I like it (+)
