The Eggy Robot project aims to synthesize a robot of which artistic appearance and emergent behaviours make us feel and imagine the emergence of primeval organisms.

One of the world’s leading researchers into 'blobby organic modelling, he depicted a world composed of molten, shape-shifting organs without a body.
