Abstract: A robotic system 10 includes a multi-sectional show robot 16. The multi-sectional show robot 16 includes a primary robot 12 with a controller 20 and one or more sensors 45. The one or more sensors 45 are configured to acquire feedback indicative of an environment surrounding the primary robot 12. The multi-sectional show robot also includes a secondary robot 14 configured to removably couple to the primary robot 12 to transition the multi-sectional show robot 16 between a disengaged configuration, in which the primary robot 12 is decoupled from the secondary robot 14, and an engaged configuration, in which the primary robot 12 is coupled to the secondary robot 14. The controller 20 is configured to operate the primary robot 12 based on the feedback and a first control scheme with the multi-sectional show robot 16 in the disengaged configuration and to operate the primary robot 12 based on a second control scheme with the multi-sectional show robot 16 in the engaged configuration.

Abstract: An animated figure system 100 includes an animated figure 63 comprising a flexible skin layer, an actuating system 106 coupled to a connection location 108 of the flexible skin layer, and an automation controller. The automation controller is configured to access a digital model 110 of the animated figure, in which the digital model comprises a vertex 112 associated with the connection location, determine a first positioning of the vertex within the digital model, and control the actuating system to set a second positioning of the connection location based on the first positioning of the vertex. Another animated figure system comprises an animated figure comprising a connection location, a first actuator, and an extension comprising an end coupled to the connection location and a section coupled to the first actuator such that a length of the extension extends between the connection location and the first actuator. The first actuator is configured to move the section of the extension. A second actuator is configured to extend or retract the extension to change the length of the extension extending between the connection location and the first actuator and a n automation controller is configured to control the first actuator and the second actuator to set a positioning of the connection location. A non-transitory computer- readable medium comprises executable instructions causing, when executed, a processor to control an actuating system of the animated figure.

Abstract: A system includes a projection device configured to project images onto a receiver surface of a viewing device. The viewing device includes a screen having the receiver surface and a viewing surface opposite the receiver surface. The screen is configured to permit transmission of the images through the screen, from the receiver surface, to the viewing surface such that the images are viewable on the viewing surface. The viewing device also includes a focusing lens configured to focus the images for a user when wearing the viewing device. Further, the system includes a tracking system configured to determine a location and orientation of the receiver surface of the viewing device. The projection device is configured to adjust image properties of the images based at least in part on the determined location and orientation of the receiver surface.

Abstract: An edible soft robot system may be used to display and/or interact with edible inflatable objects. In an embodiment, the edible inflatable object is configured to receive a fluid in an internal compartment. The edible inflatable object may be reversibly coupled to a container, wherein coupling the edible inflatable object to the container comprises aligning a port of the edible inflatable object to a fluid conduit to fluidically couple the internal compartment to the fluid conduit. A control system of the edible soft robot system is configured to receive instructions to adjust inflation of the internal compartment by activating fluid flow into or out of the internal compartment via the fluid conduit, wherein adjusting inflation of the internal compartment causes the edible inflatable object to actuate on or within the container.
