This document discusses the history and process of animatronics. It begins with a brief history, noting that animatronics originated with clock makers in Europe and was advanced by Leonardo Da Vinci. Modern animatronics were pioneered by Walt Disney. The document then outlines the multi-step process used to design, sculpt, mold, program and construct advanced animatronic figures like the Spinosaurus used in Jurassic Park. It also lists several laws of animatronics and discusses applications in entertainment, training and education as well as advantages like realistic experiences and disadvantages like high costs.

3. Introduction
Basically, an animatronics is a mechanized puppet. It may
be preprogrammed or remotely controlled.
Animatronics is a cross between
animation and electronics.

4. History
• IT WAS MAINLY STARTED BY THE CLOCK MAKERS
• IT WAS MAINLY DESIGNED BY THE EUROPEAN –
“Prague clock”
Example:
POPING OUT OF CUKOO BIRD OR ANY CHARACTER
FROM THE CLOCK.
The father of medieval architecture,
Leonardo daVinci designed and built the
Automata Lion, one of the earliest described
animatronics in history.

5. Father of animatronics
• THE MODERN ERAANIMATRONICS
WAS STARTED BY WALT DISNEY
• 9” TALL AND A DANCING MAN
• FIRST HUMAN ANIMATRONICS IN
THE FORM OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN
FOR 1964 WORLD’S FAIR

6. STEP 1: DESIGN PROCESS
• what the character will be.
• its appearance and total
number of moves.
• quality of moves.
• what specific move will be

7. Step 2: sculpting

8. Step 3: mold making
• The molding
department takes the
form created by the
sculptor and creates
the modern that will
ultimately produce the
character skins.

9. Step 4: armature fabrication
• Meanwhile, various
body armatures are
being created and are
assembled in the
welding metal-
fabricating areas.

10. Step 5: costuming
• The costume, if there
is one, is usually
tailored to the
character and its
movements.
• Animation tailoring
can be a very difficult
tedious process
considering the
variable

11. Step 6: programming
• Programming is the final
step, and for some
animations it is the most
rewarding. Programming
can be done either at the
manufacturing facility or
at the final installation site.

12. LAWS
Distance
Time
Numbers
Non-human
Surprise
Singing
Personality
Brevity

13. LAWS
THE LAW OF
DISTANCE
THE LAW OF TIME

14. THE LAW OF NUMBERS THE LAW OF NON-
HUMAN

15. • Law of surprise
The more number of surprises the
more is attention
Law of singing :-
The singing character are being able to
attract more audience .

16. THE LAW OF
PERSONALITY
THE LAW OF
BREVITY

18. Making of animatronics
spinosauraus used in Jurassic park
 Put it on paper
 Build a miniature model
 Build a full size sculpture
 Create a mold and cast the body
 Build the animatronic components
 Put it all together
 Test it and work out any bugs

22. APPLICATIONS OF ANIMATRONICS
• They are mainly used in the field of
entertainment
• They are also used to make all kind of modern
movies which make use of mythical creatures
• They can also used to make an experience of
any of the world , created usin animatronics
• It can used to train people for any places
without actually going there

23. ADVANTAGES
• Gives the real life experience
• Use to make very large and complex real life
animals
• Use to train soldiers for danger operations
• It can be use to entertain kids
• It can use to test new equipment and their
behavior

24. DISADVANTAGES
• It is very costly process
• A lot of skilled person are required
• Very complex process
• It takes a lot of time to build it

25. CONCLUSION
Creating a good animatronic figure that is avail
to perform constantly without fail requires many
special skills and lots of technical know how.
Before assuming the task of creating an
animatronic figure, it should have a strong hold
on how these things are constructed and be
willing to spend a pretty penny on equipment
and materials.
