#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

And I'm really happy with the outcome and so proud that I managed to pull it off.

It's a tambour mechanism.

So like tambour, like you'll have on like old record player, like it's these like thin slats of wood with fabric on the back and you can kind of get them to go around curves.

So basically one of the table tops or table surfaces is tambour.

And then there's a little crank and you can kind of roll it off to the side and it reveals another tabletop under it that you can lift up because it's on cams.

I think that one was both really difficult to pull off.

And it's also one of few projects that I use in my everyday life.

I don't even know.

Lex Fridman Podcast

I never used it beyond the TED Talk really.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

Yeah, but basically it's the shoulder rig and it has this like almost like Saturn ring looking platform that goes around.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

I can't even remember what.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

The problem proposition was that I was trying to solve.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

Variety, probably.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design
