Bringing Dinosaurs Back to Life: The World of Animatronics

Animatronics, a Mexican company, uses advanced robotics to create lifelike dinosaur robots for fun parks across the Americas. Their technology, entirely developed in Mexico, has been in use for over a decade. The company has expanded its reach to countries like Mexico, Chile, Peru, and the USA, showcasing their creations. Notably, they built a large Tyrannosaurus Rex for the Philadelphia Natural History Museum. Their work is informed by cyber paleontology, allowing for accurate recreations of dinosaur movements and postures. These models feature complex mechanical structures with pistons and pneumatic activators.
