Since 1990, Theo Jansen has been creating strandbeesten (Dutch for "beach animals")-constructed mainly of PVC tubing, zip-ties, string+equipped with mechanical sensory organs triggering reflexes. One beest can detect an incoming tide, turn, and beat a retreat to higher ground. https://t.co/d6WZJyPEEJ
