Hey, BD! This week at @nvidia GTC, the Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development team amazed attendees with an inside look at the remarkable journey of our BD-X droids, the first characters developed using our unique robotics platform.
Led by Associate Lab Director Moritz Bächer, the Imagineering team showcased the intricate blend of art, technology, science, and engineering that brings these adorable droids to life, from expressive interactions to dynamic walking styles. Leveraging Disney’s animatronics legacy and reinforcement learning, we’re redefining how robots convey emotions and personality while maintaining robust balance - allowing for cutting-edge characters that merge technology and storytelling in ways that only Disney can!
Two of our BD-X droids also made a surprise appearance at NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote on Monday, kicking off an exciting week! #DisneyImagineering#NVIDIAGTC2024
