This elephant was constructed for SXSW EDU 2018. It is controlled by the accelerometer in an iPad or phone. Tilting the iPad in one direction bends the trunk, and the other direction controls the legs.
This picture shows the straw/yarn mechanism that bends the elephant's trunk.
This video shows the motors that power the linkages to make the elephant walk (as well as it walking right off the table!).
