Abstract


Animatronics is a combine form of animation and electronics. Basically, an animatronic is a puppet it is also called a mechanized puppet which is preprogrammed in c++ language or controlled by remote just like remote control car. The  term animatronics originally obtained by Walt Disney as "Audio-Animatronics", animatronics can actually be seen in various forms as many years ago the famous inventor Leonardo-Da-Vinci's invent Automata Lion in 1990, animatronics has now developed as a career in different fields which may require combined talent in Mechanical Engineering, Sculpting/Casting, Control Technologies, electrical/Electronic, Airbrushing, Radio-Control. After long time digital effects appeared, animatronics were making cinematic history. Because everyone use computer graphics to give digital effects to movies. It is possible for us to build our own animatronics by making use of ready-made animatronic kits.
