Animatronics refers to the use of robotic devices to create lifelike movements in figures, often resembling animals or humans. These figures are commonly used in theme parks, movies, and exhibitions to entertain and engage audiences. The technology combines mechanics, electronics, and artistry to simulate realistic motions and expressions. The development of animatronics has evolved significantly since its inception, with notable advancements seen in attractions like Disneyland and films such as Jurassic Park. Modern animatronics can incorporate advanced features like sound, lighting, and even artificial intelligence, enhancing the overall experience for viewers and making the figures more interactive.
