The Self-Collapsing and Self-Assembling Robotic Chair

Alright, this seems really pointless, but it’s pretty cool nonetheless. It would have been even cooler if it could just assemble a little faster. Created by Raffaello D’Andrea and Max Dean, the Robotic Chair is meant to be an art piece that employs robotic technology. By communicating with a computer, the disassembled chair is able to find its way to the rest of its parts and joins them back together.

“Some people thought it was a hoax, or fabricated or computer animation,” D’Andrea said. “Others thought it was remote-controlled. The reality of it is, it’s not. It’s a self-contained system that does what it does.”

“It’s continually reassembling itself,” he also said. “Somewhat like what we do in our own lives. We fall apart and put ourselves back together.”

Ahhh…artsy fartsy people, I can never seem to understand them
