I AM GROOT | Disney Imagineers Begin Testing Free-Roaming Robot at Disneyland

- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2023
- Recently, Disney Imagineers begun play testing their free-roaming robot at Disneyland.
Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development is developing a small-scale, free-roaming robotic actor that can take on the role of our similarly-sized Disney characters. Its tightly integrated design provides over 50 degrees of freedom in a compact platform that can walk, gesture, and emote in style. Using custom authoring tools that combine whole-body motion planning and traditional character animation, artists can quickly bring robotic characters to life with expressive motions and interactive behaviors. There are no immediate plans for use in Disney theme parks; however, a prototype in the form of Groot is being used to test unique traits, gaits and capabilities.

All this and star-lord still has the worlds worst wig
You’ve no idea. I went on a DCL Marvel Day at Sea, and Star Lord looked like he sold used Hyundais in SoCal, it was so bad
😂
Only the finest wig from the Spirit Halloween 50% off sale will do! Disney spares no expense.
While I always prefer face characters over costumed ones. The wig here is so bad and unconvincing I wish they would just hide star-lord behind his mask like they do with ant man
Weird they can’t just find a guy with a similar hairstyle to Chris Pratt lol
Am I the only who thinks a Pinocchio animatronic like this would be too perfect considering his story?
I would love if Pinocchio would dance and sing "I've got no strings" like in the movies.
Yeah that would be cool
Hopefully if the Judy model is able to be as flexible as it’s promising to be, Pinocchio would definitely be the next to focus on
Honestly, I'm a bit surprised that they didn't do that. Then again, licenced characters make more money probably.
Patience. This is a brand new technology - Groot has to shuffle so that Pinnochio can dance.
Can create a state of the art robot but can't create a wig for Starlord that doesn't look like roadkill.
cant wait to see compilations of Groot animatronic breakdowns on TPM vids in the future
Yeah I love TPM’s content and also Mickey Views And DSNY Newscast
Those channels are amazing
A walking robot? It's extraordinary how far technology is coming!
The futures coming. Get used to it
Definitely. Sophia The Robot and both of her sister model's are only 6 years old.But they're all about to be replaced by their upgraded advanced version, Project RIA.
This is really only the beginning for live character entertainment in the parks and across the world. really exciting to see where this goes in the future!
Yes, it goes down the toilet.
@@TheFacrecords Do you ever wonder why no one wants to go anywhere with you?
Westworld...
How about an actual robot of C3PO?
This prototype robot of Groot is one of many ways Walt Disney Imagineers are developing new & innovative ways to bring stories to life in Disney Parks!
That's so cool! My first visit to the DLR is in a week (June 17-24)
I hope to see Groot there!
Yes, because little people don't need jobs like everyone else.
@@khyronkravshera7774 ?
Por favor uno de Rocket raccoon ❣️
@@khyronkravshera7774 where are they complaining about this?
That’s honestly really impressive, definitely the future of interactive animatronics. Rather than a stationary animatronic on a ride, bring the animatronic to the guests. Clever.
Pretty fluid movement too, but hopefully this technology will evolve and the walking will get better and more convincing.
Groot is cute and all, but underneath that cute exterior lays a T-800. You've all been warned. 😏
As long as John Connor doesn't visit a Disney park, we'll all be safe.
OH MY GOD THAT’S INSANEEEE! I love Disney!!!! Can you guys do this for muppets characters?
Or maybe chip and Dale? I feel like that and the muppets would be good ideas for characters that are smaller than human
They kind of already have with Beaker and Honeydew? It's called Muppet Mobile Lab.
Yeah
@@gymnastgirlflips I wish they brought that back to Epcot
They kind of already did, google "Muppet Mobile Lab" if you want to see a crazy free-roaming animatronic vehicle driven by Dr. Honeydew and Beaker.
From BB-8 to GROOT, I love this! ❤
Imagine how this could transform existing attractions with free roaming animatronics. This could create a unique experience on every ride.
Might be a logistical nightmare to keep them charged and far enough away from the ride vehicles.
Idk if I want fnaf coming to life-
@@DinoandGalaxy *the bite of 23'*
@@essenceofexcellence1832 I forgot about the live action movie coming out in October-
That's their goal. It Will happen. We Will see it inside 2 decades or less. That's my calculations
Can't wait to see that little cutie out and about!
The Groot looks so real….WOW !!
Watch Disney come out with an actual C3PO to wander around Galaxy's Edge during my lifetime. Or, even better, a walking Hatbox Ghost or Headless Horseman for the Halloween parties. I'd pay extra for that.
They already have the headless horseman! Hes in the frightfully fun parade. It’s a actual person and horse though
@@Grime_time I meant as an animatronic. Then they could get real fancy with it and have smoke or flames coming out of the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin which can come on and off the shoulders and maybe even talk and if they do an animatronic horse they could give it glowing red eyes and have smoke come out of its nostrils. It could be amazing!
Disney wants nothing to do with vintage characters in GE!
@@thebluetarp The newest movies bombed and there's only one tv show that is currently getting any kind of praise while people still rant and rave about the original trilogy. I don't think they'll stick with the "no vintage characters in GE" thing, especially now that they have Chewy who sometimes wanders the land. It's even easier with a character like C3PO because he's a droid and therefor ageless.
@Marilyn Addams You should consider applying for a position with WDI. You have great ideas!
You guys need to get your imagineers onto dressing a Star Lord who doesn’t look like a cheap Halloween costume.
Eh not too bad for something you have to wear every single day playing the same role.
I love that the technicians / engineers / whatever on stage have outfits, too!
Cast members are always "in costume" aka in uniform. They are just wearing the uniform that cast members who are part of the ride wear, which is what the cast members part of this experience usually wear.
\They blend in so well, and so does their equipment
It would be cool if they had a walking groot at epcot
I'm thinking Yoda, rocket Raccoon, so many possibilities!
I love to watch a new Disney line cruise theater
That actor looks as much like Star-Lord as he looks like Oprah 🤣
Still a little rough on the movements, but this is still impressive as a whole that Disney was able to make a walk around animatronic. We've come so far and Walt would be impressed!
Still waiting on that free-roaming Wall-E that we were told was coming to the parks but never did.
IT’S BACK ON!
I can see a free roaming animatronic like that getting assaulted or stolen!
I can't belive that is a robot. It moves really smoothly the antithesis of what we think of as a robots jerky movement.
And coming soon, some sort of Judy Hopps roaming robot for Zootopia in the theme parks.
this is out of this world! amazing! 😍
We've come a LONG way since Walt Disney's Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln (back in 1964). 😮
Imagine a grown up Groot than has like expandable branches.
something about it looks off and its driving me crazy the arms are so smooth
Be great to see Stitch like this
Groot, so life like and believable. What’s with the mop on Star lords head though? Can’t that get a slightly higher budget?
So this is the future of Disney parks. free roaming animatronic characters.
can't wait to see him
Bro, that is awesome!
Everybody so creative!
Sheesh, that looks incredible!
reminds me of E.T. but so cool
Whats the cable thats still plugged into Groot IS used for? I know its way smaller Then the earlier Version With a big Wire harness
That is amazing.
Very cool!
Imagine a walk around Wicket using this technology.
Amazing!
incredible !!!
Maybe it's hard to tell in the video, but with the animatronic being that large it could be easy to picture a little person in there instead. Proportions might be different but still.
That’s insane. 😮
'I only hope 🙏 we never lose sight of one thing.
That it was all started by an animatronic Abraham Lincoln' - Vault Bizney
(and generations of talented artists and imagineers) 😉
Groot: I am Groot! (Wow! I look cool!)
I think this should also help bring back the talking Mickey that we once had. People like characters that can really interact with them on a different level.
Now we need Rocket
He’s so cute 🥰
Is Michael Serna a elaborate robotic stand in double for Jon Favreau @ 0:36 ?
I've seen this one before.. 10 years from now, no more character actors, all are robots. 12 years from now, the robot apocalypse begins and the robots eat the tourists.
They are basically saying little actors jobs as costume characters are done.
Soooo when’s Rocket?
I see you Vin Diesel at the backstage with a mic dubbing it's voice! ;)
Por favor uno de Rocket Raccoon❣️
i am groot! i want it now
Cute ❤
But why do you reveal this now? It's like having a commercial for a product that doesn't exist.
The start of FNAF. The characters do tend to wonder a bit.
Make them to be sold to the general public. It would be a hit.
I was imagineering a 7 foot tall animatronic #Groot #FrankensteinRobotGroot. Thankfully, it is a harmless child-sized #ZombieRobotGroot #ChunkyGroot
IS THAT THE BITE OF '37 😱
It s all fun and games, until the plastic shell melts and they join" Sky net" 🤣
I hope this doesn't replace meet n' greet with characters that guests get to take photos with
They could have hired a little person but spent presumably millions of a robot instead 😂
Nice
walking animatronics? I mean it's amazing, but that means... Freddy Fazbear?
people gonna kick it
Lord have mercy on the folks who work the night shift at Disney World
I legit thought Groot looked like a Ninja Turtles in Vol3 so the theme park could easily have an actor in a Groot costume walking around. This is way cooler.
I hope Rocket is next. 👍

how does disney make a typo on a piece like this
This is too much. This is impressive. Westworld is coming to my mind. Disney is an amazing company. This happens when you invest in genius.
Do you have a park named duck pond
MUPPETS
He’s too big. Turn that robot into rocket. That’s the perfect size for rocket
Is Joel cosplaying as Kraglin?
I am Groot! 🌱
I am groot !!!!
Westworld expansion coming soon
Its a bit too big but i understand why
When can we expect to see Groot at the parks? ❤
Disney announced a park expansion in Disney World for a Zootopia-themed land and will include robots that guests can interact with!
what an odd thing to lie about
That's at the Shanghai park, not Fla.
i would buy one, but i cant speak Groot.
Groot bot appears to be as large as a child? Not sure it makes sense to use a robot if he’s that large.
😊 I’m groot
How many decades do you think it would take Universal to develop something like this for their "park" ??
The animatronics do get a bit QUIRKY at night...
Where is the Grogu robot? I thought I saw a video of him in the works…😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
wonder if rocket is around the corner ..
It works better than the telsa bot 🤣🤣🤣
All that tech but wont invest in a real hair wig for Star Lord...
1) It's Creepy as hell;
2) In the financial shape they're currently in, Disney's got no business throwing money away on expen$ive crap like this;
3) It's another example of all the technical perfection money can buy, but the caring it can't.
So is this a humungous Baby Groot, or a tiny regular Groot?
This is like toddler groot somewhere between guardians 2 and infinity war
Please bring Thanos to life, and put us in the final battle of EndGame 🏆
The animatronics do get a bit quirky at night...
It would be a lot cheaper to hire a little person.
