 My name is Simone Yatch and I run a YouTube channel about science. No, that was not what I was gonna say I run a YouTube channel about robots, which is a part of science, I guess But I am here with so what youth for science and you're gonna interview me You've prepared a lot of questions. Yes, we certainly have. Wow Don't comprehensive research I can tell very scientific. Where do you get your ideas for your robots? I think I get almost all of my ideas when I get bored So I actually have it as a strategy that I just get myself really bored I'm not allowed to do anything and I just have to like lay on the couch or something and then it's just my brain Just finds ways of entertaining itself I mean a lot of the ideas I get are like from an everyday problem that I have or something that I'm too lazy to do For example like brushing my teeth So I'm like there must be a better way to do this and I just start thinking about different ways to automate this or to Use technology to enhance the experience. So like how often do you actually use them? To be honest like never as much as I want to build up the image of me like having an alarm clock That slaps me in the face and then putting on a toothbrush helmet and then having a robot arm like serving a breakfast I actually don't use any of them on a regular basis. They're not very user-friendly and kind of painful That kind of broken image. I thought you would actually you were actually using I'm sorry No, they're just not great Why do you actually start inventing I think it's just I have very Tenacious is that a word tenacious tenacious tenacious tenacious ideas in the sense that if I get one I just can't let it go unless I actually build it. It just won't leave me alone So gosh now I sound like a crazy person They just won't leave me alone just have to build these things the voices my head are telling me. No, but so I just Really try to like if I have something that I feel strongly for that I'm gonna build it and that's always the way I've gone for it Like when it when I started learning or when I started inventing things that it was very like ideas first and tools later Which is like I have an idea something I really want to build and then I just have to figure out how to do it and I had to learn a lot of stuff along the Way, so it was never really me sitting down with like a programming book like oh, let's learn C plus plus chapter 1 It was more like oh gosh I just have this thing I really want to build and then like googling my way forth trying to figure out how to do it What would you consider the best invention ever? I think transistors To be honest it sounds very tall But transistors are basically what enables enabled us to build computers because it means that you can Control higher voltages with very low voltages So I think actually that is just like this fundamental part of our society and that a lot of people don't appreciate We're into electronics. What has been your greatest failure as for your invention? What have you hated the thing that you've really hated to build? I think the chopping machine is So I did a machine that chops vegetables for me. It's more. I don't I don't dislike it, but it kind of Freaks me out because it's just very I remember when I was building it I was like I just bought these huge knives knives, and I was like am I sure about this And and that was more like oh gosh, whatever. I actually done. I've created a monster kind of thing So like when did you decide to like start a YouTube channel? I mean I've had my YouTube channel for a pretty long time I just did this like upload sketches comedy sketches in Swedish where I was just like doing random stuff But they were never very successful and I just did it for fun And then I started building these robots and I remember I was looking at like what platforms I should use I was like should I do a blog about it or should I just really go for like Twitter or but then I mean They just do really well in video I mean it's it's like I can't describe in text how like a robot arm tries to serve me breakfast That just like kills the punchline So it was just video was a pretty natural step But I mean it was never really a plan for me either for it to take it would take off in the way that it did
