We all have those days where we have to get up and go to school/work, but just want to stay on your couch. Now, you can do both at the same time!
Built by engineering students in the University of South Wales, the couch utilizes 4 independent mecanum wheels (which allow for omni-directional movement), which are powered by electric scooter motors, and is controlled by a Raspberry Pi board. The users control the couch using a Xbox controller, and can relax while they ride around.
The students are still working on outfitting the couch with sensors to allow it to move autonomously. Now that would be pretty sweet.
