Understanding Animatronics in Robotics

The document discusses animatronics, which refers to using robotic devices to emulate humans or animals. It provides examples of animatronic creatures from films like Mary Poppins and E.T. The document also outlines the history of automatons and mechanical devices dating back to water clocks and mechanical knights. Modern uses of animatronics include attractions, films, advertising, and toys. The construction of animatronics involves materials like gimbal, cables, joints, and springs as well as components for structure, mechanics, sound, motion control, and design.
