Disney has unveiled a new bipedal robot that can walk unassisted and remain balanced, even when shoved or having a literal rug pulled from beneath it.
Disney Imagineering, the entertainment giant’s research and development department, has a knack for creating technologically advanced robots like this hyperrealistic Na’vi shaman at Disney World. But its latest development might be its most adorable creation to date.
The team said that roboticists worked alongside animators to ensure the robot could move expressively without falling over, just like a real animated character. It’s a similar tactic to the one Anki employed for its adorable Cozmo toy a few years ago, but it also faces similar challenges to being brought to life. “In general, animation tools don’t have physics built into them,” explained Bächer. “So that makes it hard for artists to design animations that will work in the real world.
