松下打造随叫随到的冰箱

Once you’re comfy on the sofa, there’s nothing worse than having to tear yourself away to grab a snack from the fridge. But having to move from your seat could soon be a thing of the past, if Panasonic’s latest “Movable Fridge” prototype* is brought to life.

The device comes to you when you call it, can provide you with food and drinks and can even clear away your dirty dishes. Panasonic showed the futuristic* fridge at the IFA conference in Berlin, on its “Better Living Tomorrow” stand. The simple white fridge responds to voice commands, such as “Come to the living room,” or “Go to the kitchen table.” It then navigates its way to your chosen destination* automatically*.

The device learns the layout of the kitchen, but can also respond to unexpected items in its path.

The device is linked to a database that provides details about every bottle in your Panasonic fridge. It can then offer suggestions about the best food to go with your beverage. It also responds to voice commands and moves around the house to deliver your food and beverages.

A spokesperson for Panasonic said: “The fridge can see things up to 15 centimeters ahead of it. So you wouldn’t need to worry about it bumping into your children or pets.”(SD-Agencies)
