Trundle is a behavioral sculpture - an abstraction of a biological system. It interacts with its environment through an array of sensors and motors. The origins of Trundle lie in the work of Mid-Century kinetic sculptors Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, Vassilakis Takis, and Nicolas Schoffer, scientists such as H. Ross Ashby and W. Grey Walter, current research in behavioral robotics at institutions such as MIT, and minimalist sculpture by artists such as Donald Judd and Sol Lewitt. Trundle is a focused study of movement and interaction.

Trundle is described in depth in my thesis, Behavioral Kinetic Sculpture.
