The Queen of<br />
Useless Robots<br />
All hail the queen of shitty robots!<br />
She who works on useless automation!<br />
by Dion Greg Reyes<br />
For Swedish inventor Simone Giertz, robots are<br />
not entirely as useful as we think they are. There<br />
are ways to utilize robots in everyday life to the<br />
point that they are already useless. And this is<br />
evident in her YouTube channel, filled with videos<br />
of robots and their out-of-this-world applications,<br />
that has already gathered enough followers<br />
– more than 200,000 of them – to say that the<br />
Internet is indeed a weird place.<br />
Her shitty machines speak of her imagination<br />
and abilities. She already considers making such<br />
machines a job (she earns quite a fortune with<br />
her ingenous robots) and never plans to stop from<br />
manufacturing and posting about them. Using<br />
only Arduino UNO boards, she has brought robots<br />
and contraptions to a different dimension that no<br />
other engineer could have ever thought of.<br />
