The innovation combines multi-modal bipedal robot TRON 1 with hyper-realistic dinosaur skin.
Developed by China-based LimX Dynamics, the robot is bipedal fitted with a lifelike dinosaur outer shell.
Under the dinosaur skin is TRON 1, a versatile, multi-modal two-legged robot designed for balance, locomotion, and adaptable movement across different terrains.
When covered with a T-rex-styled dinosaur skin, the robot behaves like a mobile, full-scale dinosaur, maintaining stability even when pushed or subjected to external forces.
This stability comes from advanced control algorithms and onboard sensors that continually adjust the robot’s posture in real time.
The dinosaur shell is modular and can be attached or removed quickly, allowing the same base robot to be re-skinned for different characters or themes.
LimX Dynamics envisions these robots being used in theme parks, museums, cultural tourism sites, and other public venues as an interactive alternative to traditional animatronics.
Because the platform is reusable and programmable, it provides a flexible solution for immersive entertainment, blending robotics, character design, and embodied AI into a single adaptable system.
The robot follows simple commands. The operator can issue instructions with a remote or through a leash-style control. The T-rex moves at about 3.1 miles per hour during the demonstration. The speed is slow enough to be safe for crowded areas yet fast enough for a realistic walking sequence.
LimX Dynamics explains that this idea was created as a mobile interactive display for cultural tourism. The company believes museums and parks can use the robot to draw new visitors who want to see a life-sized dinosaur up close.
