According to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/08\/19\/business\/media\/disney-parks-robots.html\"><i>The New York Times<\/i><\/a>,\u00a0 Disney\u2019s brilliant team of Imagineers is currently working on robots that will be able to get up and walk around its amusement parks. The team\u2019s newest initiative, codenamed \u201cProject Kiwi,\u201d is focused on \u201cextreme Marvel and <i>Star Wars<\/i> characters,\u201d like Baby Yoda.<\/p>\n<p>Those lucky enough to have visited Disneyland\u2019s Avengers Campus recently got to catch a glimpse of the Imagineers\u2019 latest work with the swinging Spider-Man \u201cstuntronic\u201d that\u2019s featured there. And in this video, released earlier this year, we can see Project Kiwi\u2019s Baby Groot robot:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Disney Imagineers Develop Cutting-edge, Free-roaming Robotic Actor\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EdDJ77uDwWQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s not likely that these ambulatory bots will take over primary character roles at the parks, like Elsa or Kylo Ren, Disney is likely planning on using them for roles that are difficult for humans to play, like Baby Yoda and Rocket Racoon. The company might also opt for hybrids that use both a human actor and animatronic elements for characters like the Wampa from <i>The Empire Strikes Back<\/i> or Marvel\u2019s <em>The Incredible Hulk<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In true Disney fashion, it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see older experiences and rides at the parks get updated animatronics, too. Though they\u2019d likely find a way to keep things as close to the original for the sake of older and nostalgic park-goers, it\u2019d be fun to sweep technologically jaded kids off their feet with a more thrilling <i>Haunted Mansion<\/i> or <i>Enchanted Tiki Room<\/i> update.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/08\/19\/business\/media\/disney-parks-robots.html\">The New York Times<\/a> via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nerdist.com\/article\/disney-parks-robots-walking-animatronics-imagineering-baby-groot\/\">Nerdist<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
