I'd say that if you're a beginner, just watch tons of videos about automatas, how do they move, what are they built with, etc.
If you want to know more about mechanical movements, Amazon is your friend: 507 Mechanical Movements: Mechanisms and Devices
I'd recommend to start easy. Simple movements, great effect. Your creativity is the fulcrum.
A couple books I rely on are:

Moveable Illustration by the late Japanese automata maker Aquio Nishida
