Backstage with BD-X Star Wars Droids and Disney Imagineering!
Disney Imagineering is sharing their BD-X droids at NVIDIA's GTC 2024. Here's a backstage look at how they get ready to perform and enchant! No edits here, just full joy.
Technically, 2 NVIDIA Jetson Orin NXs control the robot along with custom electronics. 11 brushless motors and 5 servos drive the legs and head. NVIDIA ISAAC Sim uses reinforcement learning to get the droids to walk. Generative AI in action! The magic part is that Disney animators have a special layer of control to bring the character to life.
It's pretty cool when a couple of them are running and appear to 'communicate'. It's a very convincing illusion, even when the puppeteers are standing beside you. All your attention is on the droids, which is why the magic trick works.
