Disney trained the robot with "live" emotions.
Disney continues to delight the public with its innovative solutions. At the IEEE IROS conference in Detroit, a new robot was introduced that looks like the BD-1 from the 2019 video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, developed by Respawn Entertainment.
The robot is designed in a compact style: it has short legs that resemble a bird's, and a flat head with eyes, a lantern and antennas. The head can move in different directions, which gives the robot a special "personality". The robot's design was inspired by the behavior of dogs: when the robot is exploring something, it tilts its head, and its antennae move like a dog's ears, making it cute and curious.
Disney's main focus is on creating robots that can move with character and style. Development begins with the creation of stylized movements by animators, after which these movements are integrated into real robot control mechanisms using machine learning. It is important to note that many of the studies are conducted in simulations, which significantly speeds up the learning process.
As a result of this work, Disney can now program robots with unique movement features in just a few months. Although the possibility of using such robots in Disney theme parks has not yet been reported, it becomes a likely prospect for the future.
This approach to creating robots with a "personality" can be revolutionary not only for the entertainment industry, but also for household robots. Sign language plays an important role in communication, and the use of such a "personality" can contribute to a better understanding between humans and robots.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that with the development of such technologies, robots will be able to adapt to the environment, analyzing the movements and behavior of people around them in order to better interact with them.

A New Approach to Disney’s Robotic Character Pipeline
Designing a bipedal robotic character with impeccable balance is impressive, but simply isn’t enough when you consider Disney characters strut, prance, sneak...
