Designing and making a kinematic art model covers a wide range of technical engineering skills. It can be built using various materials like; metal, wood, acrylic sheets, etc... These are also known as automata or mechanical toys, which are broadly used for analyzing motion, decorative purposes, and fun toys. kinematic arts are marvellous machines that use mechanical processes which can be seen everywhere around us.
Need statement: A mechanical bird automata toy depicting its motion.
