That's awesome, what a chore it would be to automate it.

chore? it would be a dream

OMFG, you obviously have no idea of the math involved in writing a control algorithm for something with that many joints. I'm just talking about the trunk...

Yeah, it would be fun though.

mmm ok, actually working it out would be a chore, but the actual animation of it, as in pressing the buttons/moving the levers wouldn't.

Right, that would be powered manual actuation, I'm talking about computer control.

Holy fuck, what a giant robot...

Reminds me of Robodock, an initiative of artists / robot people who get together once a year to flaunt their robots doing artsy things. Only robodock is somewhat limited to dancing robot horses that spew fire, swimming seamonster robots and people crawling around in giant spiders - no giant elephant robots unfortunately

Some trippy movies here: http://www.robodock.org/gallery_2005.html#fotos

EDIT: notice the bum in that first clip? Yeah, he's a robot too
