Dutch artist Theo Jansen builds wind powered automata collectively known as StrandBeests; each design has it's own Latin binomial and usually a unique inbuilt survival strategy, e.g. a dangling siphon mechanism that prevents it from wading too deep into the water; or a tail spike with an automated hammer so that the Beest can anchor itself to the ground when the wind picks up...

Jansen's walking mechanism is designed such that the "hip" remains level and at a constant distnce above the ground plane...as would the axel of a wheel
the above video was animated by a Mr. Daniel Wyllie
