Robotic Clean

The one place I’d like to see robots do their thing is in the domestic space. The Mab is a concept in this direction and looks at giving home space a robotic clean look. Essentially it is an automated cleaning system consisting of hundreds of flying mini-robots which will clean all surfaces. Mab scans and custom cleans an area according to its requirements.

Although they look like little aliens invading your home, however the future is such a zone that you never know; these kinda bots could be the norm!

Mab is a 2013 Electrolux Design Lab semifinalist.

Sweet Noise

Can noise ever be sweet? Yes, only if it’s routed through the Music Yue – noise converter device. The idea behind this project is to transform everyday noise pollution to something more soothing. Imagine living near the railway tracks or on a busy street and having to live with those track noises and blaring horns! The Music Yue simply detects a recurring rhythm and transforms it into a pleasing tune. Imginative and something we urbanites could do with!

Music Yue is a 2013 Electrolux Design Lab semi finalist.

How Toxic Are You?

With the current GMO outcry, it is important that we ensure that what we are eating is nutritious and not the opposite. Nurtima is a kitchen scale that calculates the nutritional values, possible toxins and freshness of your food and ingredients. The scale combines piezoelectricity with smart and flexible technologies, and is charged by bending repeatedly. This action creates enough electric charge for the scale to operate for the duration required.

  • The scale along with weight, analyzes the food’s or ingredient’s weight, basic nutritional information (energy, protein, carbohydrates and fat content), freshness level, and cautions the user of high levels of the most common toxins, such as mercury.
  • It can also be used as a traditional kitchen scale when measuring ingredients in a bowl.

Refreshing Pillow

Typically you’d expect a pillow to give you a good night’s sleep. However with the Cellular Pillow you can expect refreshed air and deeper connection with the environment. Basically the pillow is an air cleaning system that refreshes the air around us when we sleep. Kinda makes it like how it would feel like if we were sleeping in the forest.

The pillow consists of numerous cell containers with aloe cells, which clean bacteria and release oxygen, allowing you to breathe fresh air in your sleep and wake up refreshed and relaxed.

Cellular Pillow is an Electrolux Design Lab 2013 semi-finalist entry.
