When it comes to real estate, size really does matter. Just ask someone who’s ever tried to fit a queen-sized bed into a studio apartment. The size of new homes and apartments continues to decrease, though the prices of these shrinking spaces are increasing. Every inch matters, which is why a former Apple and Tesla engineer set out to redefine how we think about space. Sankarshan Murthy worked on both the Apple Watch and Tesla’s Model Y. In 2017, he founded Bumblebee Spaces, a startup that designs modular robotics systems to store objects in the ceiling. Using voice commands, Bumblebee’s modular framework can raise and lower storage units, closets, and even an entire bed frame, freeing up floor space and creating truly multipurpose rooms. “When we talk about ‘smart homes,’ we mean lights, locks, and speakers; we’re just putting a good router in the house and calling them smart,” says Murthy. “Bumblebee wants to be a pioneer in changing the way we think about homes, from square feet to cubic feet.” The software does more than lift your bed out of the way. With tiny cameras and AI programming, the Bumblebee software is able to classify and catalog all items stored in the space. Ready to read that book you got for your birthday two years ago? Bumblebee knows exactly where it is and will lower the drawer to you. Is your weather app warning of a sudden downpour? Bumblebee makes sure you never leave the house without your umbrella again. Murthy describes the system as “a butler for the resident.” Last fall, Bumblebee Spaces received series A funding, including investment from Toyota AI Ventures. While Bumblebee can retrofit existing homes, creating more space in tiny places, Murthy says that it’s most cost-effective for new construction. The startup is focused on selling to real estate developers and hopes to turn tiny apartments into fully functional, livable spaces.
