Roombots: Modular robots that self-assemble into furniture | Gizmag
“Envision small robotic modules, lifting the lid of a storage box, spilling out, rearranging themselves to be the box’s legs and transporting it to where you might be seated. That’s exactly what Swiss researchers are aiming to create with Roombots, reconfigurable robotic modules that connect to each other to transform themselves into any type of furniture and change shape when needed (from a chair to a table, for example). Designed to help the disabled or elderly, by morphing to suit their needs, the adaptive robotic furniture modules can even be attached to existing furniture to give greater flexibility and the power to move.”
