Disney creates a real-life version of WALL-E, a new bipedal robot that conquers slopes and steps

According to news on July 20, the Disney research team recently launched an innovative bipedal robot that has the ability to walk freely in unstructured environments such as complex terrain in theme parks, such as slopes and steps. This breakthrough technology combines advanced procedural animation, modular hardware design and reinforcement learning technology.

1. The bipedal robot developed by Disney this time has a unique appearance in design, which is reminiscent of the protagonist Wall-E in the 2008 popular animated film "Wall-E".

2. However, unlike WALL-E, this robot has unique design elements, such as a flat head and regular square body, showing its unique mechanical beauty.

   

   Character-driven design of Disney mechanical properties

According to the editor’s understanding, Disney emphasized that the core design concept of this project is character-driven mechanical properties.

1. Reinforcement Learning Control Architecture
   To achieve this goal, the research team proposed a control architecture based on reinforcement learning, which enables the robot to stably perform artistic actions generated based on command signals, greatly enriching Dynamic performance capabilities of robots.
2. Efficient Animation Engine
   During the movement of the robot, these command signals are generated by a set of efficient animation engines. The engine flexibly synthesizes and blends footage from multiple animation sources, resulting in an intuitive and easy-to-operate user interface that enables operators to control the robot's performance in real time.

   

   Disney is confident in the results of this research and development, and said that this robot system not only creates a lifelike robot character, but also opens up a new way to strengthen human-machine interaction in the field of entertainment robots and other related industries.

With the continuous advancement of technology, we have reason to expect that Disney will bring us more creative and interactive robot experiences in the future. -->
