What is Animatronics?
Animatronics is the use of electronics and robotics inthe creation of puppets which simulate life.
It is a multi-disciplinary field which integrates anatomy,robots, mechatronics and puppetry resulting in thelifelike animation of any living or lifeless object.
How it began…. Animatronics made cinematic history long before digital
effects were around.
It was first introduced in movies by Walt Disney in 1963
Today it is used in films parallel with VFX, museums,advertisements and many more.
Planning example
Creating an animatroniccharacter…
The storyline
The Model and its Mechanical feasibility
The Framework
The driving mechanism
Art work
Motion and movements
The Storyline
Artist sketching spinosaurus,At stan winston studios, Los
Angeles
Proportional clay modelFinal movie scenedepicted by model
• Story plot and brief role
of animatronics
in the plot
• Sketching the artwork
and acknowledgement
The model Artwork The Art Team develops the
model and acknowledgeswith the director for furtherwork
The Feasibility of a largerstructure is studied bydesign engineers
Director Joe Johnston and the one-fifth-scale maquette of the Spinosaurus
from jurassic park III
The framework Holds the body
Allows motion as per the scene
Uses steel, wood, polycarbonate or lighter plastics
Live working on the framework
Driving Mechanism The characters may be driven either mechanically or by
human force
The mechanically driven character is remotelycontrolled by RF (radio signals)
For small structure, electric motors, and for largerstructure we use hydraulics or pneumatics
Spinosaurus beingscaled with epoxy mold

To make the character lifelike, body artwork is essential
Clay, paint, latex, silicone, polyurethane rubber, plasterare the materials generally used
For creating body patterns, a set of molds made ofdurable epoxy is used
Body Art
In Motion The characters are programmed to play their roles in
the respective scene
Their timing and control is handled with the help ofmicrocontroller
With the help of compliance, we can allow more faster,more realistic movements without sacrificing controlover the character
