COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT THAT PRODUCES REALISTIC MOTIONS FOR AN ANIMATRONIC FIGURE

Title:

COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT THAT PRODUCES REALISTIC MOTIONS FOR AN ANIMATRONIC FIGURE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2005069755

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A System for producing motions for an animatronic figure is disclosed. The system (200) is configured to produce different types of motions in real-time and in a life-like manner. The motion software module (106) forms a composite motion by combining the user-inputted motion with user-selected fixed sequences and/or with algorithmically calculated motion. The motions of the animatronic figure can further be filtered to produce motions that are life-like. Combined motions are formed by superimposing, modulating, or modifying component motions. Motions are filtered based on user-inputted commands and commands determined from a stimulus and filtered to create a life-like motion.
