Dynamic Spaces with Diverse Furnituroids: Exploring the Synergy of Multiple Shape-Changing Mobile Furniture Robots
Pages 1293 - 1295
Abstract
This paper describes an exploration into the dynamic spaces created by 'Furnituroids', a series of shape-changing mobile furniture robots. We introduce three distinct types of Furnituroids - BarLight, BenchTable, and FrameLight - each offering unique affordances and contributing to the creation of polysemic and dynamic environments. Our video focuses on the synergistic effects of these Furnituroids when combined in various configurations, demonstrating their potential.
