Re: Walk, walk you sand creature, walk
Videos and photos Jansen's work should be considered NSFW for engineers. I love walkers (RIP AT:AT for America) and Jansen's are by far my favorite.
Jansen's TEDtalk is extremely interesting and provides some more insight into his creations. He not only talks about how he wants these to roam the beaches and whatnot, but the practical uses for these walkers to lift heavy loads (fast forward to 4:40 of TEDtalk). The only problem is I'm extremely arachnophobic, and every now and then, those trigger something in my brain  . I also can't imagine if you're asleep on the beach and one of those wake you up. |
