Bob Iger and Josh D’Amaro recently got a chance to see the latest free-roaming robotic characters from Walt Disney Imagineering up-close and personal.
What’s Happening:
- Following a playtest of their latest free-roaming robotic characters inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland, Chief Creative Officer Bruce Vaughn and R&D Imagineers shared key learnings and discussed next steps with Disney CEO Bob Iger and Disney Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro.
- The Walt Disney Imagineering Instagram shared the photo above, and said that they are “so excited about the variety of ways our Imagineers are bringing new and innovative characters to life using sophisticated technology hidden in little droids like these!”
- Imagineering held a 1-day playtest with these droids at Disneyland on October 12th.
- The droids have the ability to imitate artistic motion, and they can also emote and even learn to dance.
- Don’t get on their bad side though, because if they get angry, their eyes might just turn red!
