Pneumatic Mucles for Festo Robots

Festo is a company from Germany, specialized in pneumatic and electromechanical systems, components and controls for industrial automation. They also do robots, but besides that pure boring industrial-robot stuff, they build robots that are far more. Look this video. The robots revel such a strong vision with a style so beyond. Simply something I've never seen before. The funky detail here are the pneumatic muscles that drive the robots with air.

Spinal Rhythms and Platonic Love - Art Related Bots

A very interesting robot is the Spinal Rhythms from Eva Schindling:

The robotic art work Spinal Rhythms investigates the qualities and dynamics of physical movement performed by inanimate shapes.

Somehow related is Platonic Love from the Hungarian artist Attlia Tsörgö. This work shows complex behaviour on the setup of geometric shapes.
