    But still cool. And at a larger scale, could allow for self powered mobile wind farms that can adjust to wind direction or location in a large open area.
    Imagine large portions of dessert with roving wind farms that store energy in cargo container sized batteries that get changed out by electric trucks every time they get full.
    Drop those at smart charging stations, previously known as gas stations, and have the station hooked into the grid so you can draw on it to help mitigate brownouts and blackouts and so you have less strain on the grid from the increasing number of electric cars and the energy needed to move all those new electric cars is partially mitigated by the clean wind energy. Combined with solar technology on the stations and cargo containers themselves and you can further mitigate the cost carbon cost of powering more electric vehicles.

      I think calling it AI is a bit of a stretch, but consider: this is how life works. There's a stimulus (wind) and a response (walking). For the most part, animals just behave in a programmed way (instinct) or conditioned way to a complex of responses. Humans are the same. Except, to some degree humans' responses are so complex and what complexes of stimuli we respond to are so complex that it's just at another level apparently beyond any previously existing thing (other than humans). So, life and intelligence have their fundamental origins here. Everything that exists is just a mechanism, even if a terrifically complex mechanism.

      @@NickRoman also, that's a really bad definition of intelligence. The "stimulus" and "response" model applies to these walking sticks, but it also applies to me throwing a rock and the rock shattering a window. You could say that I "stimulated" the rock by throwing it, and it "responded" by crashing into a window and destroying it. There is nothing intelligent about applying an input and receiving an output. Any machine can do that. Intelligence is about learning and adapting. That's what separates humans and animals from machines. Our ability to receive an input, and provide a different output based on past experience. For example, if the mechanical stick bug realized that it can only move when the wind is coming from a certain angle, it might adjust its movement over time to ensure that it can always be in a position to catch the wind most effectively. This stick bug however, moves in a straight line. It receives its stimulus and produces the same response every time just like any other machine. There is nothing intelligent or human-like about it.

      To be fair that wouldn't be toooo hard. It wouldn't be totally random, but you can make systems that have some noise to the way they move simply by adding some massively reduced gear systems that change its behaviour over time. Or you could have ones that will change it significantly in reaction to something, like a sudden gust of wind or storm as an example.
      You can make some pretty amazing complex systems using pure mechanics.
      The more behaviour changing systems you have, the more life-like it'd feel as it behaves more randomly, it just takes increasingly more space and weight to add.
      You could go a step further and combine batteries to allow it to store its own energy for when it isn't windy. It would be pretty interesting to see how long they survived in the wild like that. Of course, at that point you may as well slap an Arduino in it and call it a day lol
