Gets Robotic blocks Furniture at Any Time

Gets Robotic blocks Furniture at Any Time

Living on a small place will become a great worse for any person to reside suitability, won’t it? Therefore, a new technology is welcoming you to live perfectly with suitable furniture in any square foot apartment. Robotic blocks are one of the greatest solutions to make any type of furniture for your home.

Researchers from Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland have presented Robotic…

Roombots: Self-organizing Robotic Furniture

Roombots: Self-organizing Robotic Furniture

It is still in the early stages but smart, ‘roomboots’ the self-assembling robotic furniture, with adaptive functionally adjusting to your specific needs.

How amazing it will be if you can just snap your fingers or issue a verbal command for a table, a chair or any other furniture to assemble right in front of you. Can you imagine? That the chair you’re sitting on became a sofa on demand as the…

'Swarm' furniture that comes to you - Roombots are coming soon

In the not too distant future, you will be able to have a table come to you. Yes that’s right!

Swarms of responsive robots that can transform into any kind of furniture at will, is exactly what a team of roboticists at the École Polytechnique Fédérale in Switzerland has been trying to accomplish for the past seven years.

They’ve created four pairs of robot “Roombot” blocks that can organize themselves into pretty any much shape desired, and this September they’ll start honing the technology for people in assisted living facilities. For those with limited mobility, a table that brings meds or prevents a fall could mean unprecedented independence. This amazing project has so many uses

Self Assembling Robot Furniture

Self Assembling Robot Furniture

Have a difficult time picking out furniture for your place? Or did you get the perfect sofa, only to realize it didn’t exactly fit in the space you had intended? Well say hello to Roombots, the self assembling robot furniture. These Roombots are a bold new step forward in exciting new technologies that we may see available in the far future. Conceived at the Biorobotics Laboratory (BIOROB) at…

Roombots transform into furniture

Imagine if you can just snap your fingers or issue a verbal command for a table, a chair or any other furniture to assemble right in front of you. That's what a team of researchers from the Swiss Biorobotics Laboratory (BioRob) at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) hopes to achieve by developing Lego-like robotic blocks called Roombots that can stick to each other and form different structures. Each Roombot is made up of two blocks with wireless connection and a battery that powers motors, which the robot uses to rotate into place. These blocks also have retractable claws so anything you conjure up can climb walls and ceilings or stay attached to floors. The researchers believe that Roombots could be very useful to the elderly and people with disabilities, as they could eventually tell the machines to move closer to them or move out of the way.

Roombots - Roboteii care se transforma in mobila

Roombots – Roboteii care se transforma in mobila

Roombots – Mobila alcatuita din robotei

Tehnologia avansata din ziua de azi contribuie si la modernizarea mobilei din casa. Ce spuneti daca printr-o comanda vocala sau doar prin pocnirea degetelor, un grup de robotei inteligenti incep sa asambleze o masa sau un scaun? Apoi, ii chemam la noi sau le asezam in locul preferat fara sa atingem respectiva mobila.

O echipa de cercetatori elvetieni spera…

Investigadores han descubierto la manera de hacer que los robots se ensamblen en cualquier tipo de muebles 

Los investigadores de la EPFL -esto es École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, el Instituto Federal Suizo de Tecnología en Lausanne- han construido robots modulares impresionantes llamados “Roombots”, qué pueden unir para hacer estructuras móviles, incluso los muebles.

Cada robot en forma de bola, es capaz de girar en dos mitades diagonales haciendo movimiento curiosos, cómo contonea por el suelo.

Las bolas pueden conectarse entre sí (cada uno tiene varias “juntas” color verde), pero también pueden emparejarse con “placas” pasivas, no robóticas para introducir las superficies en la ecuación.

El valor real radica en crear mobiliario móvil que puede acomodarse frente a las personas mayores o con discapacidad, ajustando su altura y posición.

Auke Ijspeert, jefe del Laboratorio de la Biorobotics EFPL, dijo: “Al final, lo único que tendrás que hacer es programar el diseño de un dormitorio o una sala de conferencias, a continuación, deje que los módulos de hagan el trabajo.”
