%X With the increasing cost living in the downtown, the issues from misdistribution of the accommodation and the work places for office workers become worse and worse. Linking together them can not only ease urban traffic congestion but also save much time for the office workers. By utilizing the vacant time of some public areas, this study proposes the robotic foldable houses for a half-day urban lifestyle. Based on the grounded theory, this study has outlined benefits from application of robotic foldable houses. Meantime, this study also sets the design requirements for the sample units by analyzing the characters. Finally, this study concludes with the good performance of the proposed units in sustainability, efficiency and effectiveness.
