RFID Robotic Chair: Your constant companion in the library

Filed in archive Implementation on June 16, 2008

If you are an old person and an avid reader at the same time then you would surely feel discomfort standing among the book shelves in libraries scanning through various books and journals for long hours. Even though your mind may not feel tired but your limbs might surely start screaming for help but now your legs would surely thank RFID a hundred thousand times.

Here is an RFID robotic chair which has been designed by Jelte van Geest and the good thing about this chair is that when you swipe an RFID library card against the sensors of the chair it starts following you so that you can rest on it whenever you start feeling tired and when you cross a line near the checkout counter the chair returns back to its station.

That's certainly a great help for people who cannot stand on their legs for long durations. Another good thing is the chair would get back to its bay after it has been put to use hence avoiding any kind of human intervention in putting them back or blocking of the pathway for others. Hats off to Jelte van Geest and I hope you have started feeling the comfort this chair can give to your body. In case you still can't believe me that this can be possibility then have a look at the video below and probably this might broaden your thought process.
