These fantastical robots are the creation of University of Tokyo professor and graphic artist Yoichiro Kawaguchi. They’re inspired by primitive forms of life, and are designed to explore “how living things survive in a world governed by the law of the jungle.”

As cool as these robots look, somehow they’re going to be turned into actual working versions of themselves (complete with moving tentacles and eyes that react to external stimuli) in two or three years. A few more colorful picture, after the jump.

From the folks who brought you OhGizmo.com, BotJunkie obsessively chronicles Man's inevitable descent into cybernetic slavery.

One robot at a time.
