I don't have a pool or a bathtub, so I guess these floating companions aren't for me :(

I think these SFRs are basically indoor blimps.

One has to wonder:

> offering gravity-defying, compliant, and tactile embodiments for indoor cohabitation

The summary is so full of fluffy nonsense, I wondered if this was some April 1st joke 8-/

Maybe first, they need to invent anti-gravity?

And "cohabitation"? Are the little things going to be breeding?

It makes me thing the ACM is loosing it's shit...

There are images of small floating blimps in the article. What are you talking about?
