Claim 30:
31. A device for autonomously folding a deformable article, comprising:
a rotatable platform configured to receive the deformable article on a surface thereof;
at least one elongation in operable communication with at least one elongation drive, the at least one elongation configured to
raise and lower from the surface of the rotatable platform,
move parallel to the surface, and
fold the deformable article at one or more fold lines,

a table drive configured to engage the rotatable platform and rotate the rotatable platform about a central axis such that the at least one elongation aligns with one fold line of the one or more fold lines for the deformable article;
at least one sensor configured to detect a position and an orientation of the deformable article on the rotatable platform; and
at least one controller in operable communication with the at least one elongation drive, the table drive, and the at least one sensor, the at least one controller being configured to dynamically determine a position and orientation of each of the one or more fold lines based on at least one of an accrued number of folds already executed and a determination of a difference in a maximum height and a minimum height of a top surface of the deformable article from the surface of the platform not being within or greater than a range between 1 to 3 inches.
