Russ, try and think outside the box a little... at the moment it's just a chair, but now that they've got a working prototype it could lead to different uses/purposes.
Imagine instead of being a chair, it was ...i dunno, a crane that is used inside a nuclear reactor to transfer reactive components from one area to another. If the crane breaks down then you have to send someone inside the radioactive zone to repair the damage. If the crane can repair itself, however, then nobody needs to risk their health by entering a toxic area.
That's just the 1st example that sprang to mind... I'm sure with a bit of time and some more caffeine I could come up with more/better suggestions

Re: Spooky, robotic, self-assembling chair
Hmmm!I don't think I'd trust it to sit on it in the first place..It fell apart too easily.Plus there could be complications with virus infections etc.
No the thought that the furniture I was sitting on could be plotting a coup makes me feel very uncomfortable.
