Amazing Picture(s) time.

Saw this first on the cover of Scientific American... then googled it. The model is about 12-18 inches tall. Amazing.

Yeah, I get Scientific American and saw that. I hadn't seen the extra pics that you posted. Fantastic stuff.

It's a beautiful work of art.

A great fusion of engineering skill & (as V V said) a work of beauty. I was particularly impressed by the view from the back - strange as it may seem.

From the look of it the 'body' is fully posable.

I shudder to think how long it took to design, machine and put together. VERY impressive.

I want one!

On a distantly related note, have you seen the three-d morphable face? It's engineering that becomes art, imnsho.
