Al-Jazari - Master Engineer and Father of Robotics

Al-Jazarī (1136-1206), was a prominent medieval polymath: an scholar, inventor, mechanical engineer, craftsman, artist, mathematician and astronomer from Diyarbakır, Turkey, who lived during the Middle Ages.
He is best known for writing the "Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices" in 1206, where he described fifty mechanical devices along with instructions on how to construct them.
Al-Jazari pioneered advances in robotics and is credited with inventing the camshaft, the crankshaft and segmental gearing - which are present in almost every machine today.

AWESOME! THE WESTERN DARK AGE WAS THE ARAB AGE OF LIGHTS!

[@aiyshasulaiman4787]

Love this! Taught me so much about him, never even heard of his name before. True, what you said at the end!

The documentary was very interesting while the music was beautiful. Where can I find more of it?

Mashaallah..I don't understand the point of disliking this reality...🙄

He was Kurdish from the town called Cizire (pronounced Jazira).

Isn't Diyarbakir Kurdish city ? Is Al-Jazari Kurdish ?

[@MrAlanizi]

derived there energy not there power, Sure .

[@TheHowarddTtaylor]

One of the great physicians of the golden age of Islamic science, Persian Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi, wrote a book saying mankind would be better off without religion.

[@jefferylebowski3685]

His contributions were not really to science, but engineering since the concepts were already invented he just improved on them. And he hardly introduced the idea of automation to engineering that would be Hero of Alexandria who designed many automated devices including a rudimentary steam engine over a thousand years before Al-Jazari even was born.

[@mikewallice2795]

Jeffery Lebowski engineering involves physics..that is science..he's the one invented analog computer that is clocks n also moving robot

[@hidugi7276]

Chill bro... the narrator says he (Al Jazari) drew inspirations from many people, one of them is Hero of Alexandria. :)

[@ahmadverse4101]

He introduced the concept of clock and linear rotation. Also, the water pressure system was also introduced by him, and many more...

[@cool06alt]

Yeah but muslim inventions had more practical application than Hero toy steam machine. Hand-washing automaton with flush mechanism, Double-action suction pump with valves and reciprocating piston motion and Crankshafts.

[@rab66066]

Hero of Alexandria improved those devices from Ctesibius, who was born and invented those 300 years before the hero.

[@maxb9315]

The father of robotics was a Czech from whose name the word 'robot' was derived.

[@user-mh6kf8cr3e]

Yes yes yes yes of course...

[@KLM738XO]

Rubbish. Al-jazari crankshaft was invented by the Han Dynasty in China at least 1000 years before Islam. As for the nonsense about robotics, Hero a Greek invented the automata. Even if you accepted that Al-jazari invented these things, he was of Turkic origin, not an arab, and these inventions and technology had absolutely nothing to do with Islam.
