Strandbeesten - Wind Powered Robot

Stumbled upon this amazing video today:


Theo Jansen is a scientist turned artist that creates remarkable wind powered robots called Strandbeests. These robots are entirely low-tech with no electronic components and are designed using a simulated evolution program made by Jansen over 17 years ago. His goal is for these robots to one day live in herds on beaches along the Dutch coast.
