What is Animatronics? ANIMATION ANIMATRONICS ELECTRONICS

ANIMATION It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision.

ELECTRONICS ØElectronics is used in doing programming of these animated creatures. ØIt is done by controlling the voltage regulation. ØIt is also done by embedded microcontroller.

PHYSICAL OVERVIEW Animatronics puppet that is animated by means of electromechanical devices. Actuators are responsible for various facial movements. Electronics and software provides synchronization of sound and motion.

DESIGNING Step 1: Sculpting Step 2: Mold making Step 3: Armature Fabrication Step 4: Costuming Step 5: Programming
