Jansen has used his mechanism in a variety of kinetic sculptures which are known as strandbeesten dutch for beach beasts. Probably the bestknown result of this search is the straight line mechanism development by watt for guiding the piston of early steam engines. This property makes the sarrus linkagelike mechanism more robust to manufacturing errors.
It is a delightfully simple linkage, but it differs from our previous linkages, in that it is spatial rather than planar. Jansens linkage is a planar leg mechanism designed by the kinetic sculptor theo jansen to generate a smooth walking motion. Each link has two or more joints, and the joints have various degrees of freedom to allow motion between the links.
