Disney files a new patent application for robots, specifically naming “humanoid robots,” that are designed to interact with theme park guests, including children.
Robots and androids living among humans has been a popular theme explored by cinema for decades.
Now, the Disney theme parks may be getting their own robots – but it isn’t quite a Westworld situation.
The first season of HBO’s series followed the android hosts and human guests of a themepark crafted to resemble the Old West, but the androids began to gain consciousness, which had disastrous effects for the park.
