Part 3/6:
This accelerated process was made possible through the use of off-the-shelf actuators and 3D-printed parts. These components are not only quicker to produce but also highly adaptable, allowing for rapid modifications and replacements. Such an approach significantly reduces the time and cost traditionally associated with custom robot hardware.
Leveraging Advanced AI and Simulation
In addition to hardware innovations, Disney employed sophisticated AI training techniques to bring the robot to life. They used reinforcement learning, a type of machine learning where the AI learns optimal behaviors through trial and error.
