Optimising a Jansen walker with genetic algorithms
Theo Jansen’s Strandbeest kinetic sculptures instantly inspire awe and wonder, and rightly so. In describing the process used to design the original sculptures, he refers to using computational optimisation to derive the optimal dimensions for his linkages. This is a problem I particularly enjoy: using software algorithms to model and solve problems in the physical… Continue reading Optimising a Jansen walker with genetic algorithms
