Has anyone any idea what standards might apply to autonomous moving part inside a home ?
I am not sure that it actually exists, but at some point, someone is going to be crushed by its moving furniture or trapped in the sofa.

#12Wonder if the name is from the small Norwegian village https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rognan and why they did go for that name
They always use Norwegian place names for their beds.

#13Why would it need to be robotic? If the friction on those tracks is low enough, then it should be possible to move the whole setup by hand.

#14Do people really want to live in such slave dwellings? These futuristic minihomes keep popping up in media, but is this really the solution? The people I know who live in small apartments cannot even afford new furniture. I used to live in 25m2 and the last thing I wanted was these automatons.
In Stockholm and other cities in Europe, people are more than happy to live in tiny apartments around 30sqm that look like the one in the video. Examples in the best areas of Stockholm downtown: https://www.hemnet.se/bostader?location_ids%5B%5D=925970&loc...
Re: Rognan robotic furniture for small space living
#15I've started to sleep on the floor (better said, on two or three blankets on the floor) a year ago because I've read somewhere it helps with back aches. The first week was weird and uncomfortable, but I got used to it quickly.
I've never slept that well (frequent sleepless nights before switchting to the ground) and my aches almost vanished.
I got rid of my bed since I didn't need it anymore and realized how much space it took (I live in a single room in a shared appartment). Now my smallish room seems so much bigger, I literally can't even use all that space efficiently (I live quite minimalistic).
Sure, this isn't for everyone, but overall I can't stop thinking that something I took for granted (everyone needs a bed, right?) is in fact nothing but an accessoire that, in retrospect, even decresed my quality of sleep, therefore even my quality of life.

Even with low friction, you probably need to apply brakes at rest to avoid having it to move uncontrollably at the wrong time. But certainly it could be manual.
By using a motorized motion, you have more freedom in the design, and you can likely move heavier load. Not everyone is necessarily fit enough to push, squat, or reach some part.
But this is a good point and I hope you can use the system without power, because it would suck to sleep on the ground because you have a power outage.

#17The irony here is if you have enough money to afford this sort of thing, why would you live in a small space?

#18"Sir, are you classified as human?"
"Negative, I am a meat popsicle."
Reminds me of Korben Dallas' place.

until there is 0 risk of a fire on apartment X spreading to apartment Y, I don’t think I could rest easy in an apartment with all of my stuff.

Based on my UK experiences, people want to live in nice houses, but they will live in whatever they can afford based on how much money the bank is willing to lend them for a mortgage; doesn't matter how badly made or small.
