Remote-Controlled Couches

The RoboCouch is an Exhilarating Couch Design That Can Be Driven Around

— September 8, 2014 — Art & Design
The RoboCouch is an innovative remote control couch design by students Will Andrew and Steph McArthur that completely revolutionizes the lounging experience by turning it into an exhilarating ride.

While most couches tend to stay stationary, the RoboCouch has cleverly been remodeled to allow sitters to go on joy rides. The RoboCouch comes with embedded chassis that was custom built to attach to a couch. Underneath are four Mecanum wheels that allow sitters to move the couch back, forward and from side-to-side via a remote control. Sitters can enjoy lounging on the couch and using the remote control to direct the couch where to go. This cool motorized couch design completely revolutionizes the relaxing couch experience by adding some adrenaline into the mix.
