Posted June 9th 2010 under Kinetic, Robot
Ikea Robotics was created by Adam Lassy, a graduate from ITP New York. As explained on his site…
“A conceptual study of dynamic and responsive environments, using Ikea as the structural platform. I have modified an Ikea Lack table and an Urban chair to create mobile, wireless robots that can dynamically reconfigure interior space in response to people”.
What if furniture could move around, catering for your every need? What if furniture displayed animal characteristics, perhaps moving away from you as you approach, or getting bored and wandering away?
