Nissan’s self-parking robot chairs tidy up offices – BBC News
Car giant Nissan has developed robotic office chairs that tidy themselves away when people clap their hands. Cameras placed around the office tell the chairs where they are, so they can gather around tables.
Nissan developed the furniture, which it has no plans to sell, while working on its own self-driving car technology.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

This is great. As a person who organizes conference room meetings regularly, I'd welcome it. Most people do not push their chair all the way back in. Also, the cleaning staff have to pull out every chair or stool to vacuum or sweep under desks and tables.

So much of money wasted to organise chairs. It would take hardly a minute for a human to do so.

As you can see— the end effects are that all the chairs line up and it looks good !!! Sometimes as an Architect, the only thing you can control is the "nice alignment of the chairs" at the counters of the building departments. This is a significant help to this desire to have the built environment organized and lined up, the way it should be !!!
The first time I did this (manually) in a large building department lobby, people were backing away from me– I did explain that it will look better when I am done, and it did. I could almost hear a clapping/cheer as the door to the lobby closed behind me…..
THUS———- The organizing chair challenge !
LAMike, I am going back to work.
