This impressive new addition to the Internet of Things, albeit in prototype mode at present, does a lot more than keep you cool on a hot day. The Sunflower is the first autonomous robotic shade; it’s solar-powered and boasts an integrated camera for security, controlled lighting, a speaker system, and charging facilities. As it tracks the sun, it optimizes both its solar charging capacity and its ability to provide shade. The Sunflower is Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled, and the app allows you to check in on the weather, UV levels, and air quality.
