The Animatronic Robot Designs of Mark Setrakian!
We visit the workshop of animatronics designer Mark Setrakian, whose robot creatures have appeared in some of our favorite films and TV shows. Mark shows us the operation and design of his Axis robots–as featured in BattleBots–and demonstrates how he creates mesmerizing animations for his creations using layered algorithms akin to musical compositons.
