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.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Leonardo's Lost Robots reinterprets Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical design work, revealing a new level of sophistication not recognized by art historians or engineers. By identifying his major technological projects, the book reinterprets Leonardo's legacy of notes, showing that apparently unconnected fragments from dispersed manuscripts actually comprise cohesive designs for functioning automata. Using the rough sketches scattered throughout almost all of Leonardo's not Elektronisches Buch, the author has reconstructed Leonardo's programmable cart, which was the platform for other automata: a Robot Lion, a Robot Knight, and a hydraulically powered automaton for striking a bell. Through a readable, lively narrative, Mark Rosheim explains how he reconstructed da Vinci's designs. In a foreword the world-renowned Leonardo scholar Carlo Pedretti interprets the significance of these reconstructions for our understanding of Leonardo's oeuvre. Artikel-Nr. 9783662517895
