RoboStool robotic ottoman moving independently around the apartment

In the modern world a lot of attention is paid to the creation of the so-called "smart interior". In this regard, an important role is played by comfortable furniture, able to carry out the commands of the owner. A vivid example is RoboStool, which was invented by Brazilian engineer S. Norris.

The future is for a smart ottoman

An interesting project was the "smart ottoman", capable of moving around the house by itself. To do this, it is equipped with three wheels, including one leading. The running potential of this robot can be controlled in three modes:

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

Obstacle detection is a matter of a special sensor system that transmits information to an electronic propeller-type chip for small robot shapes.

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

Key Benefits

The display of this unique furniture delighted students and teenagers. A robotic pouf built by a Brazilian is part of the RoboStool kit, which is a kind of bed. On an area of ​​9 square meters there is a computer table, bookshelf, sofa, built-in TV and video set-top box. That is, everything you need for advanced youth while relaxing after classes at school or college.

Important! You can control the robot without rising from a familiar place.
