#970: Sleepskates

Urban dwellers are increasingly under pressure to live in smaller spaces. Beds take up a huge amount of room.

Today’s invention is a bed which consists of a team of robotic trolleys.

You position the padded bedbots under your body and they provide all the necessary comfort and support. When you roll over, or change position, these little devices know enough about the geometry and dynamics of such movements that they can anticipate exactly were to relocate in order to provide an effectively continuous sleeping surface.

When you get up, the machines automatically form a neat, space-saving stack in the corner.
