During their SXSW presentation, Disney Parks shared a look at a new type of dynamic robot that could be used for future meet and greets with small characters.

How cool is this brand-new prototype robot that Disney Imagineers just shared for the first time? This is the first look at this dynamic robot that can fall down, get back up and even do a somersault! #SXSW pic.twitter.com/2JZXCUNjYp

The robot was introduced after a demonstration of the larger-than-life Hulk character created thanks to Project Exo.

The robot will be able to “fall down, get back up and even do a somersault!” Just a few feet tall, and with bunny ears, it looks like the robot could eventually be used for a Judy Hopps appearance.

TechCrunch’s Panzer shared a video of the robot in action as it roller-skated around the stage. Disney shared a close-up video on Instagram.

The robot was developed by Imagineers Tony Dohi and Morgan Pope, who also made the Spider-Man “stuntronic” used at Avengers Campus.
