The Rosheim Joint: A Hidden Breakthrough in Wrist Design | Soft Robotics Podcast

Mark E. Rosheim joins Marwa ElDiwiny to explore the Rosheim Joint, a wrist mechanism that reshaped how robots handle complex manipulation.

In this conversation, they discuss his pioneering work in anthrobotics, contributions to NASA and defense robotics, and how Leonardo da Vinci’s forgotten mechanical ideas continue to inspire modern design.
