SUPER MARIONETTES
First introduced by Disney in 1962 for the film Mary Poppins, Animatronics, refers to the use of cable pulled devices or motors to emulate a human or an animal, or bring lifelike characteristics to an otherwise inanimate object. It is a multidisciplinary field which integrates anatomy, robots, mechatronics, and puppetry resulting in lifelike animation. Animatronic figures are often powered by pneumatics, hydraulics, and/or by electrical means, and can be implemented using both computer control and human control, including teleoperation.
Super marionettes is a range of animatronic puppets for home and stage performance. These puppets can be controlled via a smartphone or PC. Both recorded and live performances are possible with Super Marionettes.
