Sure, Carpentopod by Giliam de Carpentier isn’t able to make coffee, but it can most certainly walk and bring you snacks. This walking wooden coffee table features twelve legs that are driven and turned using two 24VDC brushless motors as well as crankshafts.
Your eyes aren’t deceiving you, Carpentier is using a modified Nintendo Wii Nunchuk controller, along with an Arduino Nano and Bluetooth module, for control. Some custom C code was necessary to connect the latter two parts for decoding the joystick data coming from the wireless repurposed Nunchuk.

And after also installing a 14.8V LiPo battery into its belly, I now had a wireless table that could walk anywhere in my living room using a tiny remote. Is it honestly very useful? Maybe not. But is it fun to make it bring me a drink? Very much so,” said Carpentier.
