Abstract
In 1739, Jacques de Vaucanson (1709-1782) presented a celebrated automaton to the French Academy of Sciences. It was called the Canard Digérateur (Digesting Duck, Fig. 18.1), a masterpiece of anatomical simulation, with more than four hundred moving parts reproducing the main vital functions (respiration, digestion, locomotion): the animal flapped its wings, ate grain and defecated (the grain being digested by dissolution, according to the inventor). © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
