From Wiki: "Jansen is dedicated to creating artificial life through the use of genetic algorithms. These programs simulate evolution inside their code. Genetic algorithms can be modified to solve a variety of problems including circuit design, and in the case of Theo Jansen's creations, complex systems."
I recently went to an open day and met Theo Jansen, and even got the chance to push a few beach animals around. This was at his workshop which is not on the beach.
