Robotic Chair

September 13th, 2006

At Ars Electronica's Cyber Arts exhibition I got to finally see after seeing a prototype video online last year, Max Sean, Raffaello D'Andrea, and Matt Donovan's 'Robotic Chair' project in action. The robotic chair can break apart and then wondrously re-build itself. A video of the chair in action at Ars Electronica is now online and will give you a much better impression of what the technology does than I could describe. It simultaneously leaves you with a sense of awe and a little creeped out. At the moment the project uses a vision system on the ceiling so it is not entirely autonomous however it is an interesting suggestion of future reconfigurable spaces.
