Animatronics

Animatronics is a portmanteau (meaning parts of

multiple words that are combined to make one new

word) used to describe the synthesis of Animation

and Electronics. Animatronics are robots that are

based on real, living creatures with the intention of

looking as similar as possible to the original. This

type of robot is most often used in amusement

parks, but also in movies. The 1993 film Jurassic

Park became a major milestone for animatronics. In

the film, dinosaurs are brought to life, with the

intention of opening a safari park, through genetic

engineering. Many of the special effects in the film

used animatronics and still look impressively

realistic 30 years later. Today, similar effects can be

achieved with 3D programs on a computer.

Bionics & Biomimicry

Bionics is the emulation of the way animals

behave in the design of modern technology,

with the purpose of solving complex human

problems. While robots inspired by dinosaurs

are mainly for entertainment, there are robots

modeled after other animals that perform very

useful tasks.

For example, the dog-like robot, Spot, can explore

dangerous areas, like buildings with compromised

structures. An elephant’s trunk inspired the robot

arm pictured to the right. With its wide range of

motion and gripping ability, it can be used in

factories to assist humans with their work.
