Soft Robotics Podcast

Mark E. Rosheim is an American roboticist, engineer, author, and founder/president of Ross-Hime Designs, Inc., a mechanical design and robotics company in Minneapolis. He is best known for his work on anthrobotics, the design of robots with human-like limbs, hands, wrists, and manipulation capabilities, a term he helped pioneer. Rosheim holds numerous patents in robot technology and has developed robotic systems for major clients including NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, and aerospace firms. He has written several influential books on robotics, such as Robot Evolution: The Development of Anthrobotics (a technical and historical survey of robot design) and Leonardo’s Lost Robots (reconstructing Leonardo da Vinci’s automata designs). His work blends mechanical engineering, biomechanics, and historical research to advance understanding of how complex robot mechanisms can emulate human motion. Website: https://www.anthrobot.com/
