Your furniture is lazy AF. ☕️ 🪑

On Monday, a Dutch engineer unveiled the Carpentopod. It's a wireless wooden coffee table that can walk using an AI-optimized leg mechanism.

What is the Carpentopod?

It's a walking coffee table with 12 legs, controlled by two motors and a wireless remote.

How was it designed?

De Carpentier used AI to simulate thousands of leg designs, optimizing for walking speed and efficiency.

What's it made of?

The legs are precision-cut from laminated bamboo, with a curved belly that hides the electronics.

How does it move?

Two motors control six legs each, allowing the table to walk and turn like a tank.

Any cool tech details?

De Carpentier created custom motor control software and uses a repurposed Nunchuck as a remote.
