Defying expectations with its indeterminate structural design, the Homie Stool balances on only two legs. The MIT students constructed the stool from maple wood using CNC milling, to showcase a unique assembly process reminiscent of a three-dimensional puzzle. Its intricately designed dovetail connections enable a robot to deftly piece the stool together, dropping each component into its predetermined geolocated coordinates. With a mathematically precise curvature enabled by the coding and calibration of the robot, the stool is able to stand independently once assembled.
