This fridge can bring you food and drink when you ask and it’s mad

Jade Hayden

No way.

There’s nothing worse than being comfortable on the sofa and having to get up to go get something from the fridge.

Well, there are probably a few things worse than that but we can’t think of any right now.

Lucky for us, Panasonic have only gone and invented a voice-controlled fridge that can recognise our voices when we call for it and literally make its way to wherever we are sitting.

Ingenious or encouraging laziness? Who can say for sure?

The fridge made its debut at the IFI tech conference in Berlin at Panasonic’s Better Living Tomorrow stand.

And people were, of course, only enthralled that a fridge that could travel to us instead of us traveling to it, had been invented.

As well as bringing us a bottle of wine or a share bar of chocolate whenever we ask for it, the roving refrigerator also knows how to dodge objects, cool drinks, and even clear away dirty dishes.

It’s like the dream roommate.

And, unlike that lad who just moved in and who’s been using up all the hot water every morning, Panasonic’s fridge won’t talk back to us when we call him out on his bad form.

The fridge is not available to buy yet (sad face) as it is still in its design stage, but apparently we’ll only have to wait about five or six years before we can have our own fridge roaming around the gaf.

Sound.
