Robotic technology is taking over the housing industry in the Big Apple.
The future surrounded by Artificial Intelligence seems to be getting closer and closer and New York is not far behind in technological advances.
Robotized technology has arrived and is taking over New York City apartments to somehow “ease” tenants’ lives in tight spaces.
At least three buildings in New York have installed or offer the option of including robotic systems in their spaces, which, with the use of a touch panel, smartphone, or a resident’s voice, they will have the ability to reveal and hide beds, cabinets and desks.
Not only will robotic technology be useful in providing creative storage in apartments, but it will also give the illusion of living in a much larger residence, he noted. The New York Post.
In New York City, a development that includes this robotic technology mechanism is the rental of The Smile, designed by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group at 158 E, 126th St. in East Harlem, with at least 163 market-rate units.
This house is equipped with systems Bumblebee, a San Francisco company, cutos modular furniture helps create more spaces within apartments.
One of the robotic technology model homes is a 470-square-foot studio, where the Bumbleblee system is already installed and anchored to the ceiling, which will allow raising and lowering a bed, as well as the wardrobe through the phone and a voice.
Additionally, it features a console and coffee table that are on the floor in the open living room and will double as a long nightstand and footboard with storage for when the bed is lowered from above.
In this way, the living room will be turned into a large bedroom, the Post explained.
“Bumblebee’s vision has always been to create a wonderfully efficient space that is affordable. You don’t pay for two or three rooms that you don’t use all the time, but you get them when you want ”, said Sankarshan Murthy, CEO and co-founder of the company.
But like everything high-tech, residences with the Bumblebee system come at a high cost.
The aforementioned unit costs $ 2,663 per month in net effective rent. The total figure includes the concessions, in this case it would be four months free with a 16-month lease, the company said.
A 495-square-foot studio apartment without Bumblebee technology costs $ 2,171 per month.
Bumblebee’s technology was designed by former engineers at Tesla and Apple.
The company detailed that its system uses software that catalogs stored items, such as an umbrella for rainy days, which can be invoked upon request.
“It shouldn’t feel like you’re living in a closet with Murphy beds. I want to live in a place that is futuristic, that feels like Iron Man’s house, that changes according to what you ask for “Murthy said.
