    Sunglasses robot | Scrappy robots with Simone Giertz

    Published on Jul 20, 2017

    This week I'm sharing with you this nifty robot I made that puts your sunglasses on your face for you! Who wouldn't want that, right?

    In a lot of my projects, I use a machine called a uArm. I used it in the breakfast machine, the lipstick robot and the argue on the internet robot.

    My buddy Stu made a replica of this uArm and it works as a remote control for it. I'm going to use this for the first time to make our sunglasses delivery device.

    Basically, I've attached a strap to the uArm and attached it to my head. The uArm is holding my sunglasses in place, waiting to guide them right onto my face! Wow - I rhymed.

    Next, using this sweet remote control, I will have the robot put my sunglasses on for me. Ok, so it stabs me in the ear a few times and puts them on crooked, but who wouldn't want to spend their time on this?! Besides, I like failing, it takes the pressure off of things.

    Have any of you read the book, The Gift of Failure? I can sure get behind that title! Any other books you think I should read? Tell me in the comments below.

    I built a Westworld robot and it's HORRIFIC

    Published on Apr 19, 2018

    HBO asked if I wanted to do a sponsored Westworld video and I was like sure. And did I use it as an excuse to audition to get on the show?

    I built an animatronic version of myself to show off my robot building skills. If I’m SimOne, she’s SimTwo. She now lives in my garage. We’re on good terms.

    Westworld Season 2 premieres on HBO on April 22! There’s still enough time to binge watch season 1, especially if you’re comfortable with peeing in jars and sleeping with your eyes open. Not that I’m speaking from experience.

    Why you should make useless things | Simone Giertz

    Published on May 9, 2018

    In this joyful, heartfelt talk featuring demos of her wonderfully wacky creations, Simone Giertz shares her craft: making useless robots. Her inventions -- designed to chop vegetables, cut hair, apply lipstick and more -- rarely (if ever) succeed, and that's the point. "The true beauty of making useless things [is] this acknowledgment that you don't always know what the best answer is," Giertz says. "It turns off that voice in your head that tells you that you know exactly how the world works. Maybe a toothbrush helmet isn't the answer, but at least you're asking the question."
