Per Disney:
The BDX Droids, developed by Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development and Disney Live Entertainment, represent a breakthrough in robotic technology, delivering an unprecedented level of interactivity and character expression. These free-roaming robots learn to mimic movements in a simulation, bringing Star Wars droids to life with adorable personalities and incredible balance. Most importantly, they bring joy to guests through expressive, character-driven interactions, paving the way for the next generation of themed entertainment by combining innovative technology with heartfelt storytelling.
