Theo Jansen Creates New Creatures
Theo Jansen created animals that will one day roam and live on the beaches on their own. Each creature has a brain that counts the steps so it knows where it is on the beach. Also there are sensors for when it gets close to the water so it knows to go the opposite direction.

David Kelly Human-Centered Design
Important to include behaviors and personalities in design. This way the person using the product can relate to it and have a better experience while using the product.
