Work

The robot of Leonardo

Building the robot of Leonardo da Vinci in the Leonardo3lab.

Among the vast number of projects of Leonardo, there is a “mechanical knight” ^[9] that has entered into the common imagination. Studies on the subject mention that manuscripts relating to Leonardo’s idea for the robot are in the Codex Atlanticus, specifically folio 579r. Mario Taddei's further research indicated folios 1077r, 1021r and 1021v as possible sources for the mechanisms of this mysterious humanoid robot. ^[10]

In the 2007 Mario Taddei made a new research on the original documents of Leonardo finding new pieces of information to build a new model of the soldier robot, correctly related to the drawings of Leonardo. The Model is shown in exhibition around the world and the work of research is published in the "Leonardo da Vinci's robots" book. ^[11]

The rebuilt copy of Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Atlanticus as a box. Made by Mario Taddei for museum purposes.
