I first heard about Theo Jansen's Strandbeest from a WIRED article, in 2005. https://www.wired.com/2005/01/wild-things-are-on-the-beach/

A few days ago, I was amazed to see a Veritarium video about them. 

Learning about how they work, and how Jansen added mechanical "batteries" and how he is planning to add mechanical "circuits" to them was a revelation to me.
