Mark TildenMark W. Tilden is perhaps most well known for his invention of BEAM robotics. He is a controversial robotics physicist, who produces complex robotic movements from simple logic circuits, often all on the single logic chip and without a microprocessor. This UK-born immigrant to Canada started at the University of Waterloo, then moved onto the Los Alamos National Laboratory where he developed robots such as the SAT bot, which aligns itself to the magnetic field of the earth and is meant for grids. He now works at Wow-Wee toyshttp://www.wowwee.com making biomorphic robot-based toys such as the B.I.O. Bug and the RoboSapienhttp://www.solarbotics.net/gallery/Wowwee-Robosapien. Mark and his robots have been featured on several television specials, such as "Robots Rising" (Discovery), "The Shape of Life" (PBS), "TechnoSpy" (TLC), and "Extreme Machines - Incredible Robots" (TLC). Tilden was the technical consultant for the robot scenes of the movie Tomb Raider. See also: Robota Tilden, Mark Tilden, Mark
