I actually didn’t learn about the Sisyphus Kickstarter campaign until May of 2018. In 2016 Bruce ran a very successful KickstarterĬampaign to turn his Sisyphus table into a consumer-oriented furniture piece. Many advances were made in electronics, noteablyĪs well as knowledge-sharing platforms like YouTube. I kept my incomplete work, always hoping to have the opportunity to resume the project. My thesis, and I never completed my table. My attention turned to finishing the written portion of I wasn’t able to fabricate or source one at that time. You can learn more about Bruce and Sisyphus on his website and on the Sisyphus project Kickstarter page.I started building my project from pieces of a large-format printer, without any knowledge ofįew images I had seen of Sisyphus tables, I started building a radial plotter design. He later teamed up with Evil Mad Scientist Labs to create the Eggbot 2.0 kit. If the name Bruce Shapiro is familiar to you, he is the same artist/maker who created the original Eggbot robot for CNC-drawing on eggs. The top edges of some tables are also cut like puzzles pieces, and some have very fancy steel legs/bracing beneath. One technique Bruce used in constructing them was alternative cuts in lengths of thin wood to allow the wood to be curved as seen above. One of the things I love about these tables is that, not only is the kinetic art aspect beautiful and captivating, but the tables themselves are impressively designed and built.

You can get the full hardware and software technical details about the Sisbot on the Kickstarter page for Sisyphus where Bruce is offering these tables for sale (at a reasonably affordable price). Bruce calls the entire mechanism he’s designed the Sisbot.

The controller is a Raspberry Pi 3, controlling a custom stepper motor controller which is driving 2 stepper motors. This time-lapse video gives you some sense of how it works and how captivating these tables are in action.Īnd here you can see what the mechanism under the table looks like. Many people, on first glance, mistake them for cymatics (using soundwaves to generate patterns in a medium), but these tables are powered by a computer-controlled magnet beneath the table that drives a steel ball around through the sand in pre-determined patterns.
