It&#8217;s a 42-minute segment, so you get to hear a lot more about Mark&#8217;s background and other aspects of his life and career than he&#8217;s had the time to divulge in previous media coverage. Unfortunately, the fidelity of the audio is rather poor. Some of the things covered in the interview include: <\/p>\n<p> * His history as a robotics physicist including his time at NASA.<br \/> * Funny and interesting stories relating to the original Robosapien, which has now sold over 6 million units.<br \/> * His upcoming robots ,such as such as the Roboquad and Roboboa, which will increase the total number of robots sold by Wow Wee beyond the current 20 million mark<br \/> * His opinions on the Japanese style of building robots, compared to his style which is based on nature, a style which he calls &#8220;analog&#8221;.<br \/> * Why the robotics industry has not taken off yet and what needs to happen for it to do so. <\/p>\n<p> <i>Thanks, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robotsrule.com\/\" target=\"new\">Robert<\/a>!<\/i> <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digg.com\/submit\" target=\"new\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/img\/badges\/91x17-digg-button-alt.gif\" width=\"91\" height=\"17\" alt=\"Digg!\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robotics engineer and Wow Wee toy designer Mark Tilden was the guest on the Australian podcast TekTime.
