This 8cm long chameleon may look lifelike, but itβs actually made from paper, gears, a magnet, and a bit of professional watercolor work, all by papercraft artist Johan Scherft. The video above, featured at The Automata Blog,Β walks through how the automaton moves. Bonus wow moment: thereβs a mirror making the build possible.
After this, watch more incredible automata videos.
