VIDEO: A SMART FRIDGE THAT WILL BRING YOU SNACKS...

Yes, you read right! Japanese electronic giant, Panasonic, recently unveiled a refrigerator concept that – if it becomes a reality – would put an end to the age-old tradition of people ambling towards their refrigerators to grab a drink or midnight snack by bringing the fridge to you. 

The moving fridge is aptly named the 'Moveable Fridge' concept. This piece of smart technology comes fitted with a variety of sensors to enable it to move around without bumping into things. 

This all means that you can do the couch-potato all day long and summon your refrigerator and have it come to you, rather than vice versa. 

There are no clear plans to bring the refrigerator concept to reality – for now at least – but when you consider that gadgets from vacuum cleaners to alarm clocks are embracing smart technology and artificial intelligence, it's not a far cry to envision the Movable Fridge as a fixture in next-generation kitchens.

Have a look at the video – fast forward to 1:00 – to see the concept in action.
