Well, I would say these devices are very impressive machanical marvels but nothing more. If left to roam the beaches by themselves I bet they wouldn't last very long. Every action of these beasts depends on some mechanical action with no intelligence - artificial or othewise.
I've been involved in robotics for most of my life and have been watching these awesome works of art that you pointed us to in the clip for some time. While these "creatures" are absolutely beautiful and amazing to watch, they are a dead end and will never progress any further if left alone, even though the creator states "they will multiply" or something like that. Maybe he means when they break apart into smaller peices? Even the most advanced robots today, rarely if ever, surprise their programmers. What may seem like intelligence is just fancy programming. It's too bad that we aren't futher along. I really thought by this time I would have a robot that would do my bidding..... brooohaha.
