Animatronics

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Animatronics is the use of electronics and robotics in mechanised puppets to simulate life. Animatronics are mainly used in movie making, but also in theme parks and other forms of entertainment. Its main advantages to CGI and stop motion is that it is not a simulation of reality, but rather physical objects moving in real time in front of the camera. The technology behind animatronics has become more advanced and sophisticated over the years, making the puppets even more realistic and lifelike.
