Disney is collaborating with Nvidia and Google DeepMind to develop an open-source physics engine named Newton. This engine is aimed at enhancing robotic characters at Disney theme parks, enabling them to navigate complex tasks more skillfully. This initiative was highlighted during Nvidia's GTC AI Conference, where the adorable robot Blue demonstrated its capabilities. Disney's advancement in robotics is intended to create more lifelike and expressive characters that can better engage visitors, marking a significant evolution from traditional audio-animatronics.
Disney Research will be the first to use Newton to advance its robotic character platform that powers next-generation entertainment robots.
These advanced robots enhance the lifelike and expressive qualities that are pivotal for attracting guests at Disney theme parks.
