Robotic ottoman RoboStool, independently moving around the apartment

In the modern world, a lot of attention is paid to creating the so-called “intelligent interior”. In this regard, comfortable furniture that can carry out the owner’s commands plays an important role. A striking example is RoboStool, which was invented by Brazilian engineer S. Norris.

The future belongs to the smart ottoman

An interesting project was a “smart ottoman” that can move around the house on its own. For this purpose, it is equipped with three wheels, including one driving one. You can control the running potential of this robot in three modes:

• autonomous (based on a signal from the remote control, it moves to any corner of the apartment);
• controlled (allows you to maneuver freely in a confined space);
• in pursuit mode (moves on the heels of a person, without bumping into foreign objects).

Obstacle detection is a matter of a special sensor system that transmits information to an electronic chip of the Propeller type for small robotic forms.

If you approach such a gadget from a practical point of view, then it may not be as useful as we would like. But its functionality in the future may well become the starting point for the latest technologies to further improve the useful and convenient smart home system. After all, many would really like to have a bedside table or TV at home, which independently appeared in the right place with one click of the call button.

The main advantages of the gadget

The display of this unique furniture delighted students and teenagers. The robotic pouf, built by a Brazilian, is part of the RoboStool kit, which is a kind of bed. An area of ​​9 square meters accommodates a computer desk, a bookshelf, a sofa, a built-in TV and a video console. That is, everything necessary for advanced youth while relaxing after classes at school or college.

Important! You can control the robot without leaving your seat.

The undeniable advantages of using a robot poof:

• saving time;
• no need to be distracted from your favorite activity to bring a chair;
• the robot itself responds to a given signal;
• is always at hand, following the owner of the apartment to any point.

Thus, thanks to the use of the latest progressive technologies, home furniture acquires a new functional purpose.
