Arthroped is a recumbent bicycle with all-wheel-drive and all-wheel-steering corresponding to intuitive moves and thoughts. This is my master thesis work 2005 at Gothenburg University, School of Arts and Crafts. Shown here is a compilation made for an exhibition at the Parliament House, Stockholm 2005.
Phylum: Arthropoda
Arthropods are the most successful and diverse group of living invertebrates, and are characterised by their hard outer exoskeleton and jointed appendages. There are four major arthropod groups. The Crustacea (shrimps,crabs and lobsters), the Chelicerata (spiders, scorpions), and the Uniramia (insects, myriapods) all have both living and extinct representatives, while a fourth group, the Trilobita, only has extinct forms. The arthropod’s firm exoskeleton provides a rigid base for internal muscle attachment, therefore they are highly mobile and have the potential for fast movement.
