Walt Disney Imagineering pioneered the use of robotic characters in Disney Theme Parks using what was dubbed audio-animatronics.
The technology has continued to evolve, and the next generation looks amazing.
While animatronics have thus far been forced to remain stationary, only moving their upper bodies, this new generation, called Stuntronics, have the ability to move, and even fly through the air.
These creations give life to characters in the park without the need for actors to become parts of attractions and repeat the same actions time after time.
