Smart Tables

As society becomes more and more convenience driven many people are looking for designs and technologies to make their lives easier. These come in many forms; an iPod to store a whole music collection in one place for playback at any time; a Blackberry to check and send emails while on the move; or a Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner "No wheels. No more awkward moves."

These products are engineered solutions to problems of convenience rather than need. In response to this the aim of my project is to create an item which assists in an everyday situation to make life easier for the user.

My outcome is a nest of smart tables comprised of a static coffee table and robotic side tables. These side tables can be placed wherever they are needed in the room and once finished with they will navigate back and nest themselves away under the coffee table without any assistance from the user.
