Mark Rosheim

Leonardo´s Lost Robots (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This lively book reinterprets Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical design work, revealing a sophistication that has gone unrecognized by art historians or engineers. The book recovers Leonardo's notes, showing that apparently unconnected fragments scattered in manuscripts are actually cohesive designs for functioning automata. Using rough sketches found throughout almost all of Leonardo's notebooks, Mark Rosheim has reconstructed Leonardo's programmable cart, which was the platform for other automata: a Robot Lion, a Robot Knight, and a hydraulic-powered automaton for striking a bell. A foreword by the world-renowned Leonardo scholar Carlo Pedretti interprets the significance of these reconstructions in modern appreciation of Leonardo's genius.
