The Soup Robot, in theory, could be quite useful to those who cannot serve themselves. That is unless the robot was a useless pile of scrap metal.
Brought to us by shitty robot maker extraordinaire, Simone Giertz, the robot tries its best to spoon soup into the mouth of its owner. Needless to say, it fails miserably. Please watch.
Long version here…
It’s the dream of every lazy person… A robot that’ll serve us a beer, so that we don’t have to move. The Beer Robot, by Simone Giertz, will unfortunately have us pouring our own beer for a bit longer.
If you’re not already familiar with Giertz’s work, you should know that she creates terrible robots on purpose. Therefore, the beer-pouring experiment results in a lot of broken glass and beer on the floor. Please watch.
There is nothing better than when brilliant minds use their powers for good. Even if that mind is a cartoon scientist named Rick, and that ‘good’ is nothing more than a robot that fetches our butter.
Created by ESDEV, and inspired by an episode of Rick and Morty, the Butter-Passing Robot does exactly what its name implies, and nothing more. The robot is then reminded of its only purpose, crushing his little robot soul. We feel ya, Butter Robot.

Simone Giertz makes terrible robots… on purpose. However, her new Sandwich Robot is, quite possibly, the suckiest robot to ever suck. Watch as the robot’s mechanical arm, with sandwich knife attached, attempts to make a simple peanut butter sandwich.
SPOILER ALERT… more peanut butter winds up on Simone and the floor, than on any bread.

Kids (and brown-bagging adults) need somewhere to store their lunch. And, what better way to do it, than to go old-school? All the cool kids are doing it.
The Lunch Bot Robot Lunch Box is designed to look like a vintage robot, and will gladly hold anything you can stuff in his tin body. Be cool… Bring a Lunch Bot to school.
Lunch Bot is available at The Foodiggity Shop. Made from non-corrosive tin, with a durable PVC plastic handle. Approximately 9.5″ x 6.5″ x 3.5″. Eager to serve.
