I was very curious about how the articulation of the legs was achieved. Now that I've seen the video of the Strandbeest "Animaris Rhinoceros", it is fairly clear. A couple of parallel linkages coupled to a set of reciprocating triangles.
I can only assume that the drive for each "leg" comes from a rotating shaft with cams, or offsets, driving the linkages to the reciprocating triangles.
Fairly close??
