So Brickey, this is not the first of your videos that I have seen you use video from Imagineering and make it understandable to the everyday person. In as much, you do an amazing job of it. When I first watched the video you used I had no problem understanding it, but when I showed it to some friends they really couldn't understand half of it and I had a hard time trying to explain it. I'm going to show them this video later and see just how much it helps them. I will report back to let you know. You are amazing Sir, Thank You.

So Brickey, not only do I tip my hat to you for upgrading my knowledge of Disney Parks, but also bow to you as you are a better teacher than Disney or I. My friends now have a much better understanding of how tomorrow's AI driven robots will most likely work. After rewatching this video with them they noticed something I thought I was seeing, so we searched for guest videos of the little guys. In almost all of them there's what we figure has to be a plain clothed cast member/puppeteer for each bot on stage with a touchscreen controller in the background. This just seems odd for something that is supposed to be autonomous. Is this something you knew about, or an observation just coming to light. I have to ask because everything stated about the little guys is that they are completely AI. As always a huge thanks for being the projector of Disney knowledge.

I was at Disneyland a couple weeks ago. I saw R2 but didn't see these little guys. I have to agree they're CUTE! And would certainly have made me smile while looking around trying to find out where the controller is. What I'm waiting for is the day there won't be a controller, just a person keeping track/guard of the little guys since I'm sure there are people who would happily either steal or destroy them. Good video and thanks for sharing! Oh, for that matter... When they get to be autonomous I want one! 🙂

Love these deep dives - the emergence of these three little bots is the first time in ages that Galaxy's Edge has come to life and started approaching the potential of the initial designs - can't wait to see where these tests lead to. There are so many nooks and crannies that various droids and creatures could be placed to populate Batuu (and other lands!). Keep these coming Brickey!

This looks a lot like a real-world implementation of something used in 3D animation called motion matching. The object has a controller with access to a large catalog of animation clips, and it can blend together pieces of any of these clips depending on how the object is being directed to move. In games or other 3D applications, it can create much more realistic and context-appropriate movement in characters and other objects, very much like we see with these droids.

It would be kewl if Disney would take a Star Wars show with the droids on the road -- not a Broadway show but something smaller/experience based. Personally I don't need a ride. Actually if they just visited several of the conventions around the country they'd generate a lot of ticket sales.

There is one big difference in robotics that I find interesting, and curious if/when it will change. When a Human is walking we are perceiving the environment we are walking in and subconsciously adjusting out walk. We do this proactively 90% of the time. What I mean by that is you are walking up to say a set of stairs, you know that you have to treat those stairs differently before you actually get to them. Or a better example you are walking onto a skating rink or a frozen pond. You know the ice is slippery before you step on it, so you are already preparing yourself to treat it accordingly. In this video you see the clips of the robot walking over the loose boards. A person, again sees this and prepares to adjust accordingly. Most of the time robots however are reactive instead of proactive. They don't perceive that they are about to walk onto a slippery surface, or a surface with loose material. They just walk and then as their limbs start flailing they simply (not that it is simple at all) react to what is happening based on what they've learned to keep their feet. We do this as well of course when we are surprised. Oh didn't see that ice there. But the key difference is the vast majority of the time we know what we are walking into and prepare for it, while the opposite is true for robots. The vast majority of the time they have no idea and simply react to what is happening. This is a fundamental difference, not just in walking but in many scenarios that separates how we behave versus how they behave, which is why I find artificial sensing so interesting. Whether is be a robot or a car, more of its logic is based on reaction because it doesn't really perceive and analyze the world and project forward in time the way we do. For now.
@HeyBrickey5 ай бұрын
It’s truly fascinating because everything you explained beautifully is naked to the human eye. Which makes this reverse problem solving seem as if it’s actually happening the way we process the world. I drive a fully autonomous car and being a good driver is all about predicting the other guy not reacting to the other guy. The car has some prediction capabilities but it still requires a human that can clearly make a judgement call that this box coming up in the road is going to be a problem. I should take back over. When these cars crash it’s normally because the human didn’t step in to intervene. Great comment I too am fascinated by this and it was hard to keep this video 15 minutes hahaha

Umm I would seriously question this statement. It’s one thing to make small robots with low CoG working in defined terrain and a very preplanned way with limited movement ranges and a completely different task making robots with perception to make decisions and having them change their CoG, COm drastically and undergo a crazy range of dynamic movement like Atlas and Spot. But I agree that what Disney Imagineering has achieved with control and smoothness of movement in such a small package is nothing short of remarkable.
