Each droid has a real person controlling it. Think of the droid as a puppet. They do a good job. I've seen a video of the people who work the controls. They have boxes that look like the kind used to fly model airplanes or maybe like a really large-size X-box controller.
Absolutely! For those not in the know, check out an amazing movie, Silent Running 1972. Maybe a more important film now than when first released. I'm 64, this movie is in my top 10 list of all time favs.
I was just there and I got to see them. I'm a huge starwars fan I cried. I did. They are so amazing and cute I love them so much. Yes it is baby season in Disneyland for the feather friends.
I'm curious as to how autonomous they are. Clearly a lot of the personality movements are programed, but I'd like to know if they primary movement is remote control or not
The walking functionality is much better in this video than it was just a few months ago when the droids debuted. I'm waiting to see the BDX hit Droid Depot!!!
This is really impressive. Way more advanced than the real "droids" in Episodes 4 - 6, but remotely controlled I suspect. A great technological triumph for WDI. These droids are chock full of personality. Walt Disney would be blown away.
@@DementedCaverHaving any self powered walking robot is incredibly impressive. Well balanced, walking bipeds are very hard to build. Walt would absolutely be impressed
I wonder if the audience actually recognizes the amazing technology they are witnessing. We are so conditioned by tv and movies to accept autonomous robots
But only these are NOT autonomous robots. There is a very skilled operator controlling each droid. The operator's skill makes the show. Like a skilled puppeteer can make a sock seem alive. Yes, movies have conditioned us to think autonomous robots are real.
I’m over here looking at the crowd to see who’s piloting the droid. Best guess is the individual on the far right in the pink outfit and blue scarf always has their hands behind their back and turned away from the crowd.
That whole line of folks has badges on and other indicators they are Employees of some sort. The one with the scarf does not which might mean they are the operator.
@@micerr They might be the actual engineers observing their work. Voice recognition, "quirks", locomotion, and maybe visual recognition is now autonomous. Better than my Telsa, but not by much.
These are actual droids. They're not just toys with remote controls. They're loaded with a type of AI program to get them to learn things. They move on their own, observe, and more. There are a few videos that Imagineering has put out about them. Just look them up.
They said the bots were gonna be hooked to AI so that they could move freely in the park. Maybe it's AI controlled? Also the controller for these things are beefy, like Nintendo switch sized, can't hide them behind their backs.
Despite these robots being obviously controlled remotely, I don’t think most people realize just how close we are to creating the kind of actual artificial intelligence we see in movies like Star Wars..😮😮
From what I understand, that's the end goal, but these are prototypes. They're trying to get the programming correct. These aren't just toys with remote controls - they're actual droids with learning programs installed.
They're probably realistically too expensive to make. Seeing as they are only in one park, and roughly only 2-3 of them its a safe bet this cost disney a good amount of $$$$, so I would've hold your breath on owning one of these any time soon.
For a long time, I thought these droids were autonomous, until I watched MKBHD visit Disney Imagineering Lab, and saw that these robots are being controlled remotelt by humans. Meaning, all these personality are not autonomous. Still great tech though, but more of like a remote controlled mascot, contrary to thinking it that it really was an AI behaving autonomously.
Nope, not even from a control room. The cast members controlling them aren't even hidden very well. They're standing in full view with complex remote controls.
@@flex2themax No, they aren't. I caught the remote control operators in photos. It totally burst the bubble of happiness I'd created when I saw these. It was a total letdown to see them controlling the droids. :(
These are cute i prefer my robots to look like robots instead of trying to make them look like people because most realistic ones look like sleep paralysis demons
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that isn't true. In another video you can see two guys holding remote controls walking behind them. th-cam.com/video/xQepHC1e2tA/w-d-xo.html
@@mcklown Please note: If you talk to the handlers they'll tell you the remotes are there to ensure the BDX follows the logic route assigned to prevent damage, but the BDX behavior and mobility themselves are completely autonomous.
I've heard of training droids, but never a droid "trainer". Disney just making up whatever for their cashcow. These robots just walk out of a door and everyone is acting like it's the most amazing thing ever. lol
You have to admit the droids look real. Yes, they are just some plastic and motors using radio remote controlled motion but it is done well enough that they look real. Also the show is designed around the capabilities of the droids. They need to keep the crowd at a distance and this is the real purpose of the "trainer". She is crowd control but also with her narration, she makes it seem like the droids have purposeful behavior.
Animators, programmers, 3d modelers, sculpture artist, 2d artist, painters.. all artist, engineers and people involved into this ..THANK YOU.❤
It’s impressive how much personality they were able to give these robots. They really feel like they’re alive in a way.
There remotely controlled bay an actor ever little is real about her statement "they are always learning."
Disney puts a crazy amount of money into their animatronics development.

@@chrisalbertson5838 The controllers they use are modified steam decks. Those are literally computers with controllers attached to the side.
I am so glad that this creation made it beyond the play test stage
11:26 the ducklings show up!
I’m impressed how fast they can run. And their battery life with all that sound and motion.
Excellent video. I laughed a lot. The reaction to the ducks was absolutely incredible.
Saw these guys at Galaxy's Edge back in November 2023, had no idea what they were.
They just got there so how
In the games Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order & Jedi Survivor, The main character Cal Kestis has one of these as his companion droid named BD-1
@@pabloramos420 You can Google their first playtest appearances from late 2023 in California. This wasn't their first time being seen by the public.
I want three of them; I'd name them Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
Larry, Moe, and Curlee.

I think there is someone behind the scene, remote controlling them with FPV cameras.

Shows some of the development.
They need to create a cute goodbye routine!
Baby Droids Awww 🥰
Amazing, Bravo creators of these two.. absolutely nailed it.
Incredible technology, with so much personality. This is exactly the kind of entertainment I'd expect to see in Galaxy's Edge. 🤖👏
When they do a full functioning C3PO, i'm moving in Disneyland for life
oh my god 😭this is the cutest thing ever!!!
I love this so much.
My god how I’d love to see the control setup for these. This is really impressive!
Disney missed a huge opportunity to name the full trio HU-3 LU-3 and DU-3
I will only refer to them this way-
You know it!!!
actually there is 3 of them.
Orange must be being shy today.
I still think they messed up not naming them HU-3Y, DW-3Y, and LU-3Y.

For a second there I thought that was Linda Hamilton.
I want to see them interact with one another more.
Probably one of the coolest attractions at the park better than a lot of the rides
we already treating droids like pets. 😂
Obviously these were all remote operated but apparently they’re supposed to run off AI in the future.
Out of everything I think this would a great application of AI. It doesn't take anyone's job and makes the experience better.
Vry cute droids !:-)
Cute little ducklings!

The droids are autonomous. They use artificial intelligence.
@@lyndakorner2383 They literally showed the controllers in a different video
@@OBSDCC7 you are responding to a bot.
Absolutely incredible! I saw video of them a year or 2 ago and hopefully I'll see them on Wednesday (I'll be at D-land). 🤞
I wonder they can upgrade them to have arms somewhere in their chest area?
Omg. If you like Star Wars this is you thing. I want one
0:22 who let the droids out! beep beep
Are these autonomous or controlled like drones?
They are controlled by a modified steam deck. There are videos about it on YT.
Sadly they are not for sale…. Maybe one day
Remote controlled for now, but they are gonna hook them up on AIs when it's ready.
For some reason, my brain perceives this as CG
The WDI video they released the other day really looked CG to me, but these look legit
I wonder if the audience actually recognizes the amazing technology they are witnessing. We are so conditioned by tv and movies to accept autonomous robots

Will these ever show up at disney world???
Yes. Next year I think, they debuted in Disneyland California and will soon make it to Disneyworld if they're popular enough
There will be in stores before you know it like Christmas🤷🏻♂️
seems some leds and cheap lasers would go a long way
Lol the scan noise is a dot matrix printer
I want to buy one so bad
Amazing robots
are these guys full time or limited?
I really wanna have one of these droids cutely roaming my house EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now if only they would bring out a large Banta as well

I’ll buy one of them even for ten thousands of dollars.

The tour group look like Broadway actors. Wow these droids are simply amazing.🤠🤯🦾🦆
Despite these robots being obviously controlled remotely, I don’t think most people realize just how close we are to creating the kind of actual artificial intelligence we see in movies like Star Wars..😮😮
They are actually going to make these things AI controlled soon when it's ready. Then they will be allowed to freely roam around the park.
If Disney doesn't start selling these to the general public they are missing a massive opportunity.

Maybe downgraded simplified versions. Cuz the robotics in them is costly.
So wait they put a robot suit on two Ducks ? What the #ucks 😮.. .👀
Those robots have more charisma than most Americans.
BD-1 real droid's comming.
Yea, it would be amazing if they actually created droids that were in the star wars movies.
Can I buy one that’s the real question
I NEED TO PET AHHGHHGGGGGGGHH

The puppeteer working the green droid is better.
Just a little different vs the ones you buy there🙄
They're so smol ☹️
They both little robot should be in Star Wars movie. That will be great.
They're basically like BD-1 from Jedi: Fallen Order. You're basically asking them to make a Cal Kestis-centered movie.
Its not completely AI, its controlled from control room by other humans.. just know that
Nope, not even from a control room. The cast members controlling them aren't even hidden very well. They're standing in full view with complex remote controls.
we live in a world where AI robots are a thing in amusement park.
