Re: Ori – Robotic transformation of interior spaces
#2I like the idea, but I get wary at the thought of getting home at 3 AM (perhaps with company) and finding out that the bed extruding mechanism has failed... It seems the robotic part is a bit overkill, couldn't it just as well be mechanical/manual?

“And remember, always leave the bed out before going to a party. ;-)”

And what would it run on? power of imagination? heh

#6Yeah, remove the motorized part and it's a nice idea. I like multipurpose furniture and rooms. But the maintenance overhead is too much, unless you really, really need to save those 1-3 minutes on switching from bedroom to office...

Agreed - I've seen other demo videos of similar furniture that can be converted by just one person - a smaller build female person to boot. IMO engineering something with clever cantilevers so that pre teen kids etc. can manipulate them is far preferable to an electronic motor having to do it.
(PS: Don't know if it is just my boarding house training from 30 years ago kicking in, but I was horrified to see the girl in the video didn't make the bed before the hid it underneath the main structure!) :)

#8An extreme version of this is the amazing "transformer" flat design by a Hong Kong architect:
Re: Ori – Robotic transformation of interior spaces
#9"robotic" part seems to be pure clickbait. From robotic you would expect something that would act autonomously. This one doesn't even seem to be automatic - requiring one to push a button or use some app to control it at the distance.
Then again, that latter part looks scary - can somebody push the button in app to close the bed while you're sleeping? Hopefully there are some sensors to detect whether it's safe to perform the moving.
...in case there are such sensors, it might actually be properly robotic. Unfortunately no information about safety of this all is not given.
