Hat tip to my friend Jim for this gem, an art piece from Cornell entitled The Robotic Chair.
The creative idea was developed by Max Dean, working with a team from Cornell, Rafaello D'Andrea, Matt Donovan, and Steve Lowe.
Dean waxes philosophic:
"It's continually reassembling itself," he said. "Somewhat like what we do in our own lives. We fall apart and put ourselves back together."
