Animatronics -- humanization of machines / Electrical motors vs. pneumatics
Human muscles govern our movement and perform actions. As we examining movements of electrical-motors, we plainly realize how these movements are very accurate and linear, while on the other side, examining Pneumatics (the use of air muscles) reveals a slower, inaccurate, "exponential" or "hyperbolic" kind of motion, meaning movement in different "curves" of change, which by that makes it closer to human gestures.
Building a mechanical human organ using animatronics techniques and controlling it, all with simple low-tech materials.
