“#Robots are NYC’s newest luxury building perks<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Robots may one day rule the world \u2014 but for now, they\u2019re taking over New York City apartments to ease the cramp of small-space living.<\/p>\n

At least three Big App<\/a>le buildings have installed, or offer the option to include, robotic systems that \u2014 with the use of a touchpad, a smartphone or a resident\u2019s voice \u2014 can reveal and conceal beds, wardrobes and desks.<\/p>\n

Not just useful for providing creative storage, they also give the illusion of living in a larger apartment.<\/p>\n

One city development to include these mechanisms is The Smile<\/a> rental designed by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group at 158 E. 126th St. in East Harlem, with 163 market-rate units. There, five units \u2014 four studios and a one-bedroom \u2014 will come kitted out with systems from Bumblebee<\/a>, a San Francisco company whose modular furniture fixtures help create more room. <\/p>\n

One of the homes is a 470-square-foot studio whose already installed, and ceiling-anchored, Bumblebee system can raise and lower a bed, as well as wardrobe storage, by phone and voice. <\/p>\n

A console and a coffee table, which both stay on the ground in the open living area, double as a respective long nightstand and a footboard with storage when the bed comes down from above \u2014 turning the living room into a bedroom.<\/p>\n
