A few teammember of TEDxDelft went to the beach with beach animal artist Theo Jansen to test one of his newest creatures. This is part of the preparation of his performance on TEDxDelft on 7 November 2011 (see www.tedxdelft.nl)
@MrReoNetro Thr thought was of taking a Walker and then applying the walking mechanism of Theo's art creatures and mixing them. The movement looks so fluid and linear that level walking would be applicable. Then to make them from light material so that it could be lifted easily. Just a thought
Could this walking design be used to created an assisted walking mechanism for the elderly or handicapped? Not to walk for them but used as a support to aide them in getting around?
Have you seen the more recent versions of the strandbeets? They're definitely cool. Just type 'strandbeest' into the RU-vid search bar, and click on the BBC video. They've evolved and are pretty freaking badass.
