After 15-20 years, the problem of how to furnish an apartment, it may not be by itself. It is possible that the furniture will be collected on their own, to become itself in the most suitable place itself transposed. At least, so say the creators of robotic furniture Roombot.
Engineers of the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne have developed Roombot, primarily for the elderly and persons with disabilities. Nevertheless, the machine they call the "furniture of the future" as confident that the development will continue.
In fact, Roombot - a transformer with a tacked on and detachable modules. The machine can not only get furniture, but also move the other furniture.
The project, though, and is still the prototype, will soon become part of the lives of people for whom it is intended, thanks to a grant that got the scientists. Robotic furnitures can communicate with others and help to stand up and move around, watch out for their health, to cope with a variety of objects, and more.
