meanwhile the rest of us struggle to make walk walkers even with arduino

Yes, but why?
What purpose does it serve?

I've been fascinated by Theo Jansen's Strandbeests for well over a decade.
About five years ago, I was cycling along a bike path next to the motorway when I spotted several Strandbeests standing on the embankment in the distance. Since then, whenever I carpool along that route, I've pointed them out to my colleagues and shown them videos of these incredible walking sculptures.
Today, I was cycling in the area with my daughters, and we finally visited the Strandbeest graveyard. Visitors are invited to give some of the retired creatures a new lease of life by pulling the handles marked with red tape. It was amazing to see these "extinct" beasts move once again—even if only for a moment.
It was a truly impressive experience. Theo Jansen is a genuine artist and visionary.

These things are incredible works of art

Some 15 years ago I learnt about Strandbeest and built a virtual one in LittleBigPlanet. It was kind of jankey, but I had fun. It's great to see that he's still working on these.
@siddharamkotnur Says:
I found this mechanism around 8 years ago on the internet, during my mini project for Diploma, but at that time I didn't knew much about mechanisms. Also I didn't knew most important thing in mechanism was proportion of linkages, but I kept trying and finally failed to finish it, so I changed the project itself. This is kind of funny.. But after knowing about this guy's dedication I truly felt Aww in his idea. I wanted to replicate that motion from the moment I saw it on internet somewhere, because its motion seemed truly marvelous piece of art to me. I think that feeling I felt by just witnessing his art was result of his intention to inspire young people, and he sort of succeeded in it.

The Desire to be remembered when we're gone.... that sums it up thanks.
@zaug1561 Says:
Theo is a real life Dr. Frankenstein. I think his goal is to make these beasts sentient before his time is up.

Why use AI slop music for the end. I get totally thrown off every time i hear si music

@KhairuzanDwijayanto Says:
It looks like something straight out of Bloodborne
@christmassnow3465 Says:
The design, starting in the 1980's looks quite ahead of its time when we look at it retrospectively: The idea of evolving the best "walking" mechanism with a computer is the prelude for artificial intelligence. I hope in his lifetime he achieves the ultimate goal of making them reproduce, because that would truly make them evolve by natural selection.
@danielmbithi8476 Says:
Imagine building this and putting AI that would be crazy ... The guys invention CA be used in movies and help people with no limbs to walk again
@danielmbithi8476 Says:
The guy is a genius how did he come up with that ... He even coded the best way the strandbeest could walk on sand without sinking wow ...

"The desire to be remembered after we're gone" only weak minded people and those who let their ego speak for them care about that. I'm more concerned about being able to feed, clothe, shelter and generally keep my family safe and alive. I certainly don't remember anything about some random homeless person that lived during the viking times, so why should anyone care about remembering me. Again, only weak minded and people who let their egos speak for them care about their legacy

@mobese46 Says:
It's interesting that you're comparing the Strandbeest to real animals and evolution. However, that's not a fair analogy. The Strandbeest has a deliberate creator — just as all living things do. Darwinian evolution has nothing to do with either.

Honestly, the engineering is incredible.

@cmfrtblynmb02 Says:
this guy probably has understanding of robotic movement with joints and some of the material science that very few people has. And it is mostly practical
When people say how they created all these cathedrals without CAD or any advanced math, this is how. THere used to be people like him at every town, city back in the days.
@robjeffrey7544 Says:
Evolution? Really....doesn't that require unguided processes acting on only materials immediately available? Seems to me there is a very intentional design, with hand picked materials. The beginning of the interview with Jan(sp?) "I was thinking....." ....The blind pityless watch maker can't think? Somehow we are using terms to prop up a fallacious naturalist explanation with the work of an itinerrant designer. Maybe you should rethink your human arrogance it is blinding you to the truth of design in the natural world.
@lloydjudd5137 Says:
This reminds me of some very small toys that you would find in cereal boxes in the early 70s. They had about 8 to 10 small plastic pieces and when you clicked them all together the would make a little creature on 4 legs attached to a small weight on a piece of cotton.
You would hang the weight over the edge of a table , give it a little nudge and it would start walking.
I was fascinated by them as a small child.
@rickrollperson Says:
A cool movie would be if the Strandbeests continued to slowly evolve by themselves until they were self sustaining creatures in the far future.
@chanchal-f4c Says:
Wouldn’t it be fun if he made when which walks on two legs - like a human !!
@LooneyTears Says:
Veritasium doing a Item about my home town! pretty cool.
I've seen these walking many times growing up in The Hague City.
@mistyminnie5922 Says:
Strandbeests are a better argument for life than A.I. lmao
@AtlasArtAnimation Says:
They look like the result of convergent evolution of jellyfish with insect legs allowing them to function relatively the same with reliance on currents but this time on land
