Smartians are little servo-motors that can be operated from afar to push down the lever on your kettle, turn the volume knob of your tube amplifier or click the on/off switch on your vintage table lamp. Think of them like small, cloud-connected, glued-on mechanical fingers you can control from your smartphone. They come with specific add-ons that let them turn, push, pull or pierce whatever they’re attached to. As nicely designed, cutely naïve, and basically useless objects, Smartians fall perfectly in line with the current offering of the high-end IoT market.
