which helped inspire a new generation of architects to design an increasingly wide range of actual working kinetic buildings. Assisted by new concepts such as Fuller's [[Tensegrity]] and by developments in [[robotics]], kinetic buildings have become increasingly common worldwide since the 1980s.<ref name = "Transformers"/>
