This document discusses animatronics and provides information on its history, technology, and applications. It summarizes that: - Animatronics uses electronics and programming to create the optical illusion of motion in animated creatures through the control of voltages and microcontrollers. Actuators enable facial movements. - Applications include Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room from 1963 as well as theme parks and movies. Skills like electronics, mechanics, sculpting, and control technology are important for animatronics careers. - Diagrams show examples of animatronic robot kits, components like servos and software, and how a full animatronic system works using elements like a motor system, face and
