Disney Research, in collaboration with the University of Illinois and Caltech, has developed a humanoid robot prototype capable of mimicking human facial expressions, blinking, and subtle head movements. This animatronic bust, although currently skinless, demonstrates advanced robotics technology that could lead to more lifelike human-like robots. The development marks Disney's expansion beyond its traditional entertainment offerings into the field of robotics.
