I like the idea, but I get wary at the thought of getting home at 3 AM (perhaps with company) and finding out that the bed extruding mechanism has failed... It seems the robotic part is a bit overkill, couldn't it just as well be mechanical/manual?

“And remember, always leave the bed out before going to a party. ;-)”

Now to make it truly robotic. Hook it up to calendar etc, and have it figure out that if you go out after business hours and/or weekend, it should automatically ready the bed.

Only step up then is virtual butler mode, where you can text ahead about bringing guest(s) or similar.

That and if you have a spouse/roommate/etc., you're boned if you want to use the "living room" and they want to use the "bedroom."
