Disney Simplifies Animatronics With Software And 3D Printable Parts

This video shows some of the research Disney has been doing with Columbia University to simplify animatronic mechanisms. With the aid of this software users can create an object, design the desired movement path, and then automatically reduce the amount of motors required to create that movement.

You can learn more on the Disney website and download the full study, Computational Design of Linkage-Based Characters, to see the complete process. This should be of special interest to puppet builders and puppeteers.
