ABSTRACT:
A floating chair includes a buoyant member attached to a seat member (“seat”) for maintaining the seat above water. A maneuvering device is operatively attached to the seat. A battery and a CPU are in communication with the maneuvering device. A solar panel is in communication with the CPU for conveying sun location data to the CPU, and the solar panel may be electrically connected to the battery for charging the battery with solar energy. The CPU may determine the position of the seat relative to the sun or a remote object and actuate the maneuvering device to maintain the seat in a constant position relative to either. Further, the CPU may actuate the maneuvering device to move the seat in a clockwise direction, a counterclockwise direction, or laterally. When the floating chair is not in use, the seat may be moved from a lounging configuration to a storage configuration.
